Uh... I think you might be able to do this with IPFW.
I haven't done it myself.

According to /etc/protocols, OSPF is IP proto type 89.

so like "ipfw add allow 89 from <src> to <dst>" or
just "ipfw add allow ospf from any to any" :>

but that's just the IGP, now you have to worry
about passing LSA and Hello's... they run over
Multicast (224.0.0.5 and 224.0.0.6) with TTL=1

So, you have multicast group 224.0.0.5 (all routers)
and 224.0.0.6 (designated routers - DR's) that you
need to allow (ipfw add allow all from 224.0.0.X to X).
Make sure you use "all" or type 2 (IGMP).  Realize that
this will only allow multicast to the local network (which
is hopefully all you need) because of the multicast ttl=1
(see ip(4) for more information).
