Under FreeBSD 4.9, you indirectly have access to ipfw2; see ipfw(8).

Under 'IPFW2 ENHANCEMENTS', is listed 'MAC header filtering and
Layer-2 firewalling.'

You will need to rebuild the kernel, /sbin/ipfw and /usr/lib/libalias,
as per the section titled 'USING IPFW2 IN FreeBSD-STABLE'.

Good luck...
