/var/log/security is not for ipfw only, it's for messages with priority
security. you can filter ipfw output with syslog configuration:
!ipfw
*.* /var/log/ipfw/ipfw.log
in /etc/syslog.conf
or using syslogd patch which was not so long ago posted to some mailing
list:
!-ipfw
*.* /var/log/messages
!ipfw
*.* /var/log/ipfw/ipfw.log
^ that's all syslogd configuration ;)
And to answer your question, I don't know anything to process ipfw's
logs (and maybe put them into mysql), but someday I will write something
;) [maybe ;]

man syslogd:
-c Disable the compression of repeated instances of the same line
into a single line of the form ``last message repeated N
times'' when the output is a pipe to another program.
If specified twice, disable this compression in all cases.
