Unless you want to attempt transparent proxying (which you shouldn't
use unless you can't reconfigure all machines to use proxies
manually), ipfw or ipfilter is not a requirement.
To use Squid, just install it from a port or package and start reading
/usr/local/etc/squid/squid.conf. It is a very well-documented
configuration file. Even though the configuration file is huge with
lots of options to play around with, the only thing you should have to
do is set up an ACL so that your local clients can make requests to
Squid, and set up the cache director{y|ies}.
