If the system is primarily a webserver, get a binary package for
analogue or webalizer and parse the logs. Otherwise, use ipfilter
with a "count" rule and a shell script to capture and reset the counter

Your no-compiling objective may limit your options. Compiling from pkgsrc
is pretty easy, so you may want to rethink your position on it.
