And, very likely, here is the cause of your pf problem.  :-)  Please go
back to what I said about your kernel configuration -- you're missing a
lot of "option" arguments for ALTQ support.  Add all of the ones I gave
you, follow the instructions for buildkernel/installkernel, and it
should all begin working.

   The ALTQ options are still in my kernel; I never removed them since you recommended I put them in and I rebuilt my
   kernel. I went ahead and did the buildkernel/installkernel again, checking to see if the ALTQ stuff was in there before. This
   time I tried adding the "device pf" stuff back in. Still the same story. Maybe I'm rebuilding my kernel wrong? Doesn't seem
   likely. How hard is it to screw up the following?

   1. vi /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/MACHINEHOSTNAME (edit accordingly)
   2. cd /usr/src
   3. make buildkernel KERNCONF=MACHINEHOSTNAME
   4. make installkernel KERNCONF=MACHINEHOSTNAME
   5. shutdown -r now

   Well, the weekend is upon us. We can continue this on Monday, if you're still willing. Thanks for the extra effort.
