Y'know, in that sort of situation I honestly think I'd join the rebels if the opportunity arose.
That said, I'd prefer to do so in a relatively safe manner. Like, say, as that one guy whose job consists of operating a radio and pissing off the weapons instructor.

Looking back to my playthrough of HL2, I recall 90% of civilians getting shot, blown up or bludgeoned, so.. I would probably pussy out and play a support role in the rebellion. Or just do fuckall and chill out in my apartment.
Definitely a rebel, but not in the "DIE FOR HUMANITY! DIE ON YOUR FEET, DON'T LIVE ON YOUR KNEES" gun-toting sense, more in the sense of guys like the blokes you come across in the early levels of Half Life 2 holed up somewhere that help you out on your way with whatever supplies they have laying about.
From what I can gather of the half-life universe being an average citizen is hardly much better or safer than being a rebel, seeing as the combine slaughter them by the house-load on your arrival. I guess I would stand up and fight, but then again living in a society ruled by fear and oppression has a habit of making you just get in line, or at least id imagine it does...
Since gruesome death seems to await anyone else, I would lay low, possibly by disguising myself as a sofa.
Even if you have Gordan Freeman with you, you're still very likely to end up dead.
I'd probably copy Barney, pretend to work for the combine and use that as cover to help rebels under the radar.
