I don't know if you can hook it into dynamic lists, but
http://www.fwbuilder.org/ is my favorite. It's a GUI program where you
create objects like "loopback interface", "my subnet", "ICMP", "UDP Port
10000", and you drag them around and make a layout of your rules. Once
you're done, you can export a firewall script for a dozen different
operating systems.
