One way to do this, would be to create a launchd plist, something like  
this should work:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd 
">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
         <key>Debug</key>
         <false/>
         <key>Label</key>
         <string>my_firewall_rules</string>
         <key>OnDemand</key>
         <true/>
         <key>ProgramArguments</key>
         <array>
                 <string>/usr/local/sbin/firewall_rules.sh</string>
                 <string>start</string>
         </array>
         <key>RunAtLoad</key>
         <true/>
</dict>
</plist>
