For some reason I had looked at Paul Vixie's screend at one time - it looked
relatively straightforward to get it working under NetBSD (and in fact in
the release notes, it says that if you want it on a Sun, then you should run
NetBSD/sparc).
I believe the FreeBSD ipfw is something different, though - I'm not sure
exactly what it is.
