I would suggest you look at the new snmpd stuff in -current. I don't
follow the tree closely enough to know how far reyk@ and co have got
with it, but I believe that the plan is for it to be well integrated
with pf and the other subsystems in base. Using snmpd to give you a
datasource, you could then use {cacti, mrtg, cricket, $others} to draw
whatever graphs you need.
