IPFW2 lets you perform firewall actions on a MAC address, rather than an IP.
You can configure a DHCP server to staticly allocate an IP address to that
machine via something like this in {/usr/local}/etc/dhcpd.conf:
host pi.codefab.com {
hardware ethernet 00:00:00:00:00:00;
fixed-address 66.234.138.67;
}
