pfSense is a customized distribution of FreeBSD. It actually started in 2004 as a fork of the m0n0wallproject. However, it concentrates more towards full PC installations, where m0n0wall is more towards embedded hardware.

pfSense, of course, includes a powerful firewall, including the ability to filter based upon the passively detected operating system.
