This looks like the problem. You have put hostnames in your pf.conf.
While this is supported, hostname lookups at boot time are problematic
because the network is just getting started. Nameservers are not always
immediately reachable, so these name lookups will stall out.
I recommend you put IP addresses in your pf.conf so that it can be
loaded without waiting for a nameserver.
Alternatively, put these hostnames (and IP's) in your /etc/hosts file.
