of course :)

there is a "limit" option in ipfw which does this.
Check the manpage in a recent FreeBSD (4.5)

Having implemented it, I still believe that it makes a lot
more sense to limit bandwidth using dummynet pipes
rather than number of connections (which can be widely
different in resource usage).
