Snort? No.... Snort is a pcap-layer IDS.. as such, it gets a copy of the packet more-or-less at the same time as the kernel firewall does. ie: both events happen in parallel.. packets don't go through snort, they get copied to it as they come in off the ethernet layer.

The snort-inline package might do what you need, however I've never tried it as it's Linux/IPTables specific (my snort box is *BSD based)
