Yes you can deploy them all on one machine and depending on your needs you only need 1 IP. Number of domains is up to you, one is sufficient (and even that isn't needed depending on circumstances.

However, I strongly recommended that if this is intended to be a firewall, NO other services are running on the box. Firewalls are intended to be the security gateway and should be running on a dedicated box. The more services you run on the firewall box the greater the possibility for it to be compromised.
