I did not find any document about that. IPFW2 can filter packets by MAC address --- is that what you're looking for? In order to use IPFW2, you'll need to upgrade to a fairly recent FreeBSD 4.6 or 4.7 version and do a buildworld, buildkernel cycle with the correct options in /etc/make.conf and in your kernel config file. (Or you might upgrade to 5-CURRENT, where IPFW2 is the default). IPFW2 functionality was MFC's into RELENG_4 on 21 Aug 2002, so anything later than that should work.
