There are many tools available for rule creation and management. You can find references to them in the archives. For specific rule configuration, many use fwbuilder (http://www.fwbuilder.org). Tom Eastep has done great work with Shorewall (http://www.shorewall.net). If your looking for something for very large, complex configurations such as defense in depth in internal networks, you can look at the ISCS project (http://iscs.sourceforge.net) which has recently received a shot in the arm with an influx of new developers and even a major production deployment.
