There shouldn't be any compatibility issues at all.  The one thing you
will need to do would be to create the rules for the OSPF traffic to
communicate with other routers.  See:
http://lists.netfilter.org/pipermail/netfilter/2002-August/037299.html
for some detail.

You would have a rule something like:

ACCEPT	$FW	loc:A.B.C.D	89
ACCEPT	loc:A.B.C.D	$FW	89
