Try this.  Add some ipfw count rules, two per network you want to
monitor:

add 1000 count ip from any to network1/mask out
add 1001 count ip from network1/mask to any in

, create a shell script called /usr/local/bin/get-ipfw-stats:

#! /bin/sh
inrule=$1
outrule=$2
set -- $(ipfw show $inrule)
echo $3
set -- $(ipfw show $outrule)
echo $3
uptime
hostname

, and use this in your Target line in your mrtg config file:

Target[net1]: `/usr/local/bin/get-ipfw-stats 1000 1001`
