I'm not sure what you mean with the last sentence, but, in general, supporting a per-user firewall is not possible in the kernel.
Users can be anywhere on your network, so a restriction based on users can only be done by using additional, user-level authentication. This can be done via SOCKS, or with proxy servers, like those of the TIS Firewall Toolkit.
But maybe you meant something else...
