How it was handled previously? F.e. ipfw in -stable 9 builds normally
with WITHOUT_PF and have pfvar.h included too, but old pfvar.h have only
<net/pf_mtag.h> which is available with WITHOUT_PF.

By a first glance, alternative altq.c file with the same functions
declared, but does nothing will be solution, replacing original when
MK_PF is no.
