There's no need to do that, you can use a script like adzapper with
squid. It's in ports (www/adzap), so you can pickup a new default
rule file with port updates. And you can define additional rules and
exceptions. The only thing I had to set was some exceptions for sites,
I don't mind seeing adds for.

There's at least one other add blocking squid redirector in ports.
