I don't realy know if it is impossible to use PF for monitoring the 
total traffic. But you can ( just as I do  ) use MRTG ( Multi Router 
Traffic ) to keep track of the amount of data which you are using. It 
renders html-documents. By default MRTG only keeps track of the current 
bandwith-usage with a script which is known as 'mrtg-totals' you can 
also get graphs of the total amount of traffic.

See www.mrtg.org and
