Sorry for wasting everyones bandwidth and time .. thanks to Dominic Marks I have re-read my own question and actually *read* the altq(9) manpage in addition to the altq(4) manpage... I make the conclusion that if the IFQ_* macros are used in the driver source, the driver is ALTQified. I also draw the conclusion that vr(4) supports ALTQ and will test this later this weekend. I guess that the release notes are a little wrong too.
