This sounds fine to me, especially since it doesn't break forwards 
compatibility from older mac_portacl rule sets.

However, I've CC'd Samy Al Bahra, who has a set of outstanding mac_portacl 
patches that are similar, and might have some comments on your proposed 
changes.  My primary concern with his changes was that they changed the 
syntax in a way that broke backwards compatibility to older defined rules; 
on the other hand, his version of the changes allowed further scoping of 
things like "user id 80 in jail 20 can bind port 80", whereas the above 
supports a single layer of scoping.
