What are you interested in exactly ? Are you looking for a tool
that would read the Pix configuration file and would produce a
"human readable" summary or are you interested in displaying
the access rule names that appears in firewall reports in a more "human
readable" format. 

In the latter case, it could be possible to develop an "extended
analyzer" which would "translate" the access rule name that
appears in the log files based on the information contained in the
config file. In the format case, I'm afraid that is something else
completely. I am aware of tools which produce low-level access rules
from a high-level description, but I do not know of any which are able
to infer an high-level picture from the low level rules. 

Kind regards
