Not that I am aware of. Perhaps the Handbook
(http://www.freebsd.org/handbook)

bwmgr from etinc (http://www.etinc.com/ I believe) can do traffic
limiting. I don't think IPFW or IPFilter can. I have no idea about its
reporting capabilities (nor those of IOS actually, since I've never
used IOS 11.2 for production)

To the best of my knowledge neither IPFW or IPFilter will output via
SNMP. You may be able to brute force it into mrtg somehow.
