Yes, I am using it.

Just download and uncompress the CSV GeoIP version and do something like 
this (example for Czech Republic IPs):

grep Czech GeoIPCountryWhois.csv | awk 'BEGIN { FS="," } { print $1"-"$2 
}' | sed 's/"//g' | tableutil -q text > /etc/pf.czech_net.table

tableutil is from ports (net/tableutil)

So all Czech IPs are in /etc/pf.czech_net.table which is loaded in to 
pf.conf byt this line:
table <czech_net> persist file "/etc/pf.czech_net.table"
Then you can do what ever you whant with these IP addresses (block / 
pass / redirect...)
