While architecting any n-tier intranet applications, do I have to consider anything about firewalls in the organization? Are there any special considerations which needs to be proactively addressed or it could be an afterthought.

If you’re designing in a way that the firewalls will sit between your tiers, this is definitely a consideration.
That being said, it should just be a matter of configuring your firewall to allow communication between your services, but collaboration with the IT staff maintaining the hardware would be a good thing to do prior to implementation, instead of after implementation…
