Linux and BSD are essentially the same in their firewall
implementations. Either way, you're probably talking about just
setting up a packet filtering firewall. There's a good faq on
firewalls in general here:

The firewall howto is nice too. It'll tell you more about using
a squid proxy and setting up TIS or a SOCKS proxy. The best thing
to do is to see how both systems work. They're pretty similar altho
some would argue that *bsd has a much better IP stack than linux.
