Do a quick google search on "building freebsd firewall".  I was building 
a FreeBSD firewall this week, and several of these sites were very 
helpful.  There are sites for both ipfilter and ipfw.  So, take your 
pick.  I'm using ipfilter, but either firewall method will be sufficient 
for most people.
