Three, actually - ipfw, ipf and pf. There's a brief explanation why in
the handbook at 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls-apps.html

I prefer pf myself, but which one to use is really down to personal
preference. I'd recommend following the Handbook's advice and do a bit
of reading and experimenting. 

I hope to get around to updating my pf tutorial soonish (see
http://www.bgnett.no/~peter/pf/en/ if you're interested - or
http://www.bgnett.no/~peter/pf/no/ if you prefer the Norwegian version)
