not that I know of, only ipchains and iptables .. no ipfw or ipf on linux.
There used to be an ipf a few years ago but that was back in the 2.0.x days.
I don't think there's ever been ipfw available for linux.
my firewall is freebsd too, runs 2 NICs in bridged mode w/ipfw and my NIDS.
Behind that is my NAT box which runs linux 2.2.x and ipchains.
