The basic logic block is :
1. use the feature of iptables -N to create per ip-addr IN and Out chain
2. jump every traffic per ip addr, to respective chain
use cron to run the bash-script that do :
1. iptables -L -vnx
2. Parse the data from each respective chain
3. stor it to remote MySQL using MySql client tool
4. reset (zero ?) the value of each chain
That way you can have a traffic record per station (ip addr)
If you just need monitoring like MRTG (in bps, no detailed history record), it'll more simple ... you only need to hack NetSNMPD and use MRTG to do the rest, no SQL hasle.

You should be able to configure it to do so. IPAC-NG uses separate accounting rules for every item that you want to report on. Thus if you want individual accounting per PC, you can set it up to do so.
Install it and fiddle. That's my recommendation.
