The answer is not so easy.
P2P is not only based on port numbers.
The P2P detection is quite difficult, and maybe impossible.

My own position is that ipfw is not able to block P2P

Sure.  Take a look at the manpages for ipfw and dummynet, there are
examples,
although it may take some time, and perhaps the "Building Internet
Firewalls"
book (by O'Reilley), for full understanding.  :-)
