1) really fast (to install and to see first results) solution:
/usr/ports/net/ntop
http://www.ntop.org/ntop.html
(but I have no idea how it will behave on a busy
wire - seeing a lot of connections - over a longer time)
2) MRTG
/usr/ports/net/mrtg
http://www.mrtg.org
provides you with some scripts in it's contrib/
to monitor bandwith by using 'ipfw count' rules
(it produces nicely configurable graphs in a min. 5min interval)
