You can use FreeBSD's native firewall support, see:

    - ipfw(8)
    - section 6.4 of the FreeBSD Handbook
      http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook71.html

If you are using -stable, keep in mind that a lot of the information
contained in the handbook (such as the syntax of ipfw) no longer
applies.

There's also the TIS Firewall Toolkit:
