I wrote a simple iptables script for Rapid. You can find it inside the
rapid-scripts deb package. Not as modular as shorewall, but then again,
fits the bill for a one-interface server.

It is part of the rapid-script debian package, e.g:

  http://updates.xorcom.com/rapid/pool/xorcom/rapid-scripts_1.0.1_all.deb

Extract etc/init.d/firewall from it. The command 'clear' will clear all
rules. Otherwise it will set the iptables rules.
