Yes, there is. Or not, there isn't. Dependent of what do you want. Reading
docs helps a lot:
<<
  As of 2.1.102, the IP firewalling code has been replaced; ipfwadm
will no longer work.  You need to obtain "ipchains," available from
http://www.rustcorp.com/linux/ipchains/ , and use that instead of
ipfwadm.

 To use masq forwarding you will need to obtain "ipmasqadm,"
available from http://juanjox.linuxhq.com/ .

There are also wrappers that translate ipfwadm commands to ipchains ones
(I think, one is in ipchains bundle).
