Thanks very much :-) ipfw is the native firewall. ipf is simple and historically precedes pf. pf is ported from OpenBSD and leaves nothing behind in terms of security controls. I don't know ipfw. If you expect a simple rule set, then ipf may be the easy solution. Otherwise I would go for pf. pf took some syntax from ipf so with some changes you can easily shift to pf later, if you don't use groups no changes should be needed.
