BSDs and OS X use either pf or ipfw. They thankfully don't use the same awful syntax as iptables. I'm only really familiar with ipfw (OS X uses it) and the command would look like this:
Code:
ipfw -q add 001 deny all from 3.0.0.0/8 to any
In the wild and wooly world of web servers make sure no files are executable unless they absolutely need to be. Give only read access to the user apache is running as to the .htaccess file if you go that route (instead of the firewalling route). Don't make anything in your docroot writable by the apache user unless it needs to be.
