5.3 was the first *release* with PF included.  5.2.1, 5.1 and 5.0(not sure) 
can be supported from security/pf.  One should note, that the port is 
outdated (OpenBSD 3.4) and no longer maintained.  I'll remove the port with 
the release of 5.4 (and will correct the firewall chapter accordingly).  4.x 
can get pf from KAME snapshots, btw.
