ntop can do it if you run ntop on that particular system.  If you had a
linux box acting as the router ntop would be able to collect some very
interesting stats for all traffic that passed through the firewall.

mrtg may be able to do it.  However I have not run mrtg against a linux
box, just cisco switches.  Not sure if the mib on the linux box contains
the network information you would want for such stats.  Would have to
check that.
