This would appear to be as the result of a command such as:

ifconfig em0 name interconnect

And as such you can rename any interface on your system.  I'm not sure 
how PF state entries deal with this situation (i.e if there is a state 
associated with interconnect does the state store the interface name as 
em0 or interconnect).  If the latter is true then it would make using 
disparate hardware for HA firewalls much simpler, and attainable.
