If you are running 5.3-RELEASE there is systat

# systat -ifstat

systat exists in 4.x releases but I don't believe it has the -ifstat
option. It's only realtime - if you want long-term logging I would
suggest either mrtg or better, cacti + rrdtool which is much easier
(IMO) to setup (www.raxnet.net) and gives you the flexibility to
monitor just about anything.
