Firewalls are discussed in some detail in the Handbook at
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/firewalls.html
and at
http://www.dvl-software.com/freebsd/topics.htm#firewalls
I don't NAT is covered in the Handbook, but you can see other people's
documentation about it at
http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ppp/ppp.html (section 4.3)
http://www.dvl-software.com/freebsd/topics.htm#nat
However, if you'd like to write more complete documentation about it,
please do. You should probably take a look at
http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/docproj-primer/
first.
