See the NOTES filefor extra kernel options, /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES:

device          pf                  #PF OpenBSD packet-filter firewall
device          pflog               #logging support interface for PF
device          pfsync              #synchronization interface for PF
device          carp                #Common Address Redundancy Protocol
