I don't know of any vendor neutral certs for just firewalls, but Cisco, Checkpoint and Sonciwall are all popular firewall vendors with certs. I'm not too sure how popular the Sonicwall cert is, but I have seen quite a few job postings asking for Checkpoint certs.

Checkpoint and Cisco are the ones I see the most out there...I know the cisco CCSP curriculum encompasses more then just the cisco aspect of it due to the CNSS standards that are met by passing the exams.
