It might help to know what you are trying to accomplish. Is it to protect the kids or some other reason?

Good point-

I'm looking for a product like CyberPatrol that will keep kids off inappropriate sites (primarily pornography) and/or be able to set limits on the times in which they can get online.

Children are a significant part of society and their upbringing should be perfectly done so that society can prosper in the long run. Internet monitoring software (http://www.imfirewall.com/en) is the most popular software for monitoring children’s internet activities .It’s tracking your child’s online activities. You can treat it as big mother safeguards your children by providing an interface that protects the password along with multifaceted features.

You can probably accomplish what you want free using a combination of OpenDNS (http://www.opendns.com/home-solutions/parental-controls/) to filter porn and the built in Parental Controls of OSX to limit times(in System Preferences). You can also use Parental Controls to "whitelist" only certain sites.

If the little buggers are smart enough they can likely get around OpenDNS filtering.
