You don't need any additional stuff, it all comes with FreeBSD. Either you load the kernelmodule with "kldload ipfw" or you compile the code into your kernel by adding "options IPFIREWALL" to your kernel-configuration. Be warned though that IPFW defaults to deny any connection, so either begin with an "open" type of firewall or load a ruleset, otherwise you'll be cut off the network. It's all in de Handbook (as always), see http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/firewalls.html, or /usr/share/doc/en/books/handbook/firewalls.html.
