    No, you cannot. iptables is NOT a packet filtering software. That's=20
a task for netfilter, which is part of linux kernel. iptables is only=20
used to manage netfilter rules.

    So, even if you can compile iptables on freebsd (which you probably=20
wont, because of missing headers), freebsd kernel will not provide=20
netfilter structure that is used by iptables.

    As a completly linux kernel based software, iptables cannot run on=20
non-linux plataforms.
