no.  iptables is linux 2.4 specific. the code is based in the kernel, so
just because you can run the command line iptables command doesn't mean
you'll actually accomplish anthing (you'll probably get errors about
missing libraries and such). there aren't equivalent kernel calls in
freebsd.

afaik, pf hasn't been ported to freebsd yet. once again, this has
specific kernel dependencies which may not be satisfied in freebsd.
although the possibility of a port from pf to *bsd seems more likely
than a port of iptables.

well, that narrows down your decision alot. ipm ppc machines (rs/6000??)
are only supported by linux and netbsd. there are no "consequences" in
your decision on intel platforms, as all of the OS's you listed will run
on x86. It really comes down to which system you're the most comfortable
with running.
