I think grepping from iptables -v will do. Separate chains for separate 
protocols, then you can even build some RRD graphs out of it.
This is the "in-house" approach.

I've used ipfm in the past (http://robert.cheramy.net/ipfm), it works 
ok. It should know about pcap filters. It has some sort of html 
generator available somewhere too.

Cheers,
Adrian.
