For freeware, linux-based firewall _appliances_, you could always use either Smoothwall, or IPCop. If at all possible, I encourage you to not put your firewall and your webserver on the same machine... If somehow your firewall was compromised, you'd rather not give the attacker unfettered access to your webserver too.

I believe some commercial firewalls are based on iptables but offer a GUI frontend networked appliance.
