I found ibWebAdmin to be quite good for web-based admin tool. As for
native tools, FlameRobin project aims to fill this gap. We have nice
progress so far, and expect to reach beta stage in few months. Native
Windows, Linux and MacOSX binaries are already build, and port to
FreeBSD is coming soon. The libraries we use also work on Solaris, so
expect to see that too.

FlameRobin aims to work with any Firebird that ever gets released.
