no chance without a good ALG or a hard policy for internet-use.
1. if you want to filter by MAC or by IP (DHCP, static) the user can
change his MAC within 1 minute, so the filtering is for the birds.
2. a better way is only allowing the "standard" ports for outgoing
traffic, but if the user is smart enough he tunnels the traffic through
an allowed port. Now you can implement a proxy with ACLs, but the user
can now use HTTPS for tunneling and a unknown server as endpoint and you
are once more the looser.

the easiest way is to add the existing (I hope you have one) policy for
the use of the internet out of your managed net:
1. The use of P2P clients like Kazaa etc. is forbidden.
2. Tunneling is forbiden
3. Violation costs 1000€ and the order to stay away from the house.

This sounds hard, but if you are the owner or the responsible person of
the internetaccess it is your own chance.
