It should be possible, but very inefficient. You almost certainly don't want to generate a logfile entry for each IP packet, then convert it using complex regexps, diff it with the previous entries and then run Analog on them (that's what fwAnalog does).

I've used IPAC, some people like MRTG for this task. http://sourceforge.net/projects/ipac/
