    OK....

    Sure, if you modify rc.firewall or use a different mechanism to
    construct the rules. The supplied rc.firewall is a shell script; see
    ". file" in man sh for one way to read the contents of another file
    into a shell script.

    You could also generate the ipfw comamnds via some other (combination
    of) (scripting) language(s), including Perl or m4 -- as long as
    each such component you use is available at the time it is first
    invoked (rather early in the boot process).

    A lot is likely to depend on how dynamic the "grown list" is.

    Peace,
