There's a hack I use that's detailed here:

http://ipfwstats.sf.net/

essentially a shell rc script runs at boot time to create an ipfw
'count' rule for each user on the server.  The counts are then collected
via cron at the end of each day and dropped into a mysql db.  The db can
then be queried by a php script from a web server to display statistics
to the end user/admin/etc.  Fairly simple but worked for me at the time.
