I would suggest you use a NetBSD-1.6.1 system, with the native ipfilter.
It's quite nice, easy to use, and very secure. ipfilter has been
hardened and debugged since ~1993, unlike PF, which is only almost
2 years old now. I'd check out:

http://www.netbsd.org 
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/network/nsps/config_ipf.html
http://coombs.anu.edu.au/~avalon/

...for information on NetBSD, configuring it as a firewall, and ipfilter's
configuration and features.
