The OS X firewall only controls _incoming_ traffic. Little Snitch sniffs outgoing traffic from your Mac, so the OS X firewall complements Little Snitch (and visa versa).
If you have a router, you don't really need a software firewall like OS X's ipfw firewall. A router denies any uninitiated requests to your machine, making it a firewall. But a router doesn't take the place of an app like Little Snitch.
