If you want a GUI check out http://fwbuilder.org EPEL has packages for 
Fedora but not for EL6. Fortunately the project offers (S)RPMs for EL6:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fwbuilder/files/Current_Packages/5.1.0/

The idea is to create firewall rules with the GUI and let the app 
validate them and finally push them via ssh/scp to your box(es).

HTH,
