I don't see the need for extra security on my Macs. I use the built-in firewall, and there's always that Snitch program if I want to see which software likes dialing out.

If you have Tiger, use the Firewall and turn on Stealth Mode.

There's a firewall built in, but you don't need it really, as no services are listening by default on OS X. Having a firewall to block a port that's not listened to doesn't actually DO anything.
