Maybe you can add on to this webmin module:

http://www.niemueller.de/webmin/modules/iptables/
(it "works as an rc-script"...)

or roll your own:

I noticed webmin just won a popularity contest over at Linux Journal;
I think it will really help bring linux to the desktop and home
environments, it is so easily adaptable I think we'd be seeing variants
of it in consumer products, what think you of that?  I know each company
already has their own developed (and in development) but at some point,
a new company will simply do a serious QA round on their adaption of it
in order to save money in development and maintenance.  

As evidence, I remind you of the recently-/.'ed DreamBox:

which points to http://linuxdevices.com/articles/AT7482684956.html

product link:
http://www.dream-multimedia-tv.de/Bereiche/Produkte/DM7000.php

specs:
http://www.dream-multimedia-tv.de/Bereiche/Produkte/DM7000_featurelist.php

I'd rather hack on a full-fledged system, which aside from video is the
same or cheaper, but this is quite cool nonetheless!!
