Are there alternatives for the NixOS firewall? (lemm.ee)

I've found the built in nix firewall to be somewhat lacking (can't have different ports open on different networks for instance, I would rather reduce my attack surface while out on other people's/public WiFi)

Is it possible to use other firewall software on NixOS declaratively?

You can disable the NixOS firewall, install firewalld (or any other firewall solution) and use that if you want.
