Puppet can be found in packages. I can't comment further on it as I don't use it.

...which limits your configuration to "push"-style management. At that point, you could implement any number of schemes which would:
  • pull from some form of repository.
  • massage the files into their final form.
  • push to the endpoint firewalls via scp(1).
Puppet might be able to all of this itself. Personally, I do the repository portion using devel/git as the backend SCM database, but other tools or schemes could be used. I use Git as I want to keep an audit trail of what I have done & when. I also use Git for other things, so familiarity helped in the decision.
