I use Guarddog, which is available through Adept (I can't remember if it's already installed or not )
To quote the details:
Guarddog is a firewall configuration utility for KDE. It is aimed at two groups of users: novice to intermediate users who are not experts in TCP/IP networking and security, and those users who don't want the hassle of dealing with cryptic shell scripts and ipchains/iptables parameters.

For completeness:
Guarddog, once installed (note that guarddog is not the firewall itself, it is a graphical configurator for the built-in firewall), blocks everything by default, so you have to open some outgoing ports to be able to use the internet.

Firestarter:

Firestarter is a complete firewall tool for Linux machines. It
features an easy to use firewall wizard to quickly create a
firewall. Using the program you can then open and close ports
with a few clicks, or stealth your machine giving access only
to a select few. The real-time hit monitor shows attackers
probing your machine.
