I think all the newish Macs come with firewalls if I'm not
mistaken.
Slim--
They do come with "personal firewalls", but you have to make sure they
are enabled.

This is from the Apple site:
Personal Firewall
All that spam on the Internet these days gets sent by "owned" boxes,
usually Windows-based home computers. Cyber pirates scan for
easy-to-compromise machines. Tiger's built-in personal firewall
protects your computer from unauthorized access by monitoring all
incoming network traffic. When you enable the personal firewall in Mac
OS X, all inbound connections are denied except for those that you
explicitly permit. And now with stealth mode, your Mac won't even
acknowledge its existence to people scanning for machines to attack.
