There is dummynet, which isn't really designed for this purpose, but can
do it. There is also altq, which is designed for it.

man dummynet && http://www.csl.sony.co.jp/person/kjc/kjc/software.html

I believe the Romanian BSD User Group is helping to organise the import
of altq into the main FreeBSD source tree (?).
