The best reply sofar (imho) was to use screen.

When i reload my ruleset i do that with:

pfctl -Fa -f /etc/pf.conf.new && sleep 180 && pfctl -Fa -f /etc/pf.conf

where the new file is my test setup and the other file is the current 
working one. When i reload them with screen i am sure that the commands
read correctly and even when i get kicked out the screen application 
still carries the commands given. In worst case i can access the machine
again after three minutes, which isn't that bad ;-)

Just my 0.02E(urocents)
