You can use iptables.  You can create a filter rule (or more) that matches the 
packets you want to monitor.  Schedule a iptables -L -v -n each 5 minutes and 
use the byte counters to update a log file.  I recommend rrdtool for it.  I 
have some scripts on www.docum.org.  The monitor script uses the byte 
counters of iptables to get some data.  In the GUI section, you can find some 
perl scripts that I use update the rrd files and to create the graph.

If you need more help, you can contact me.  For the rrdtool, I recommend using 
an existing script and adapt it to your needs so you don't have to bother 
about the needed options.
