You misheard the question.  It's really:
"Why should I spend time importing PF for Nick when I have other things to
work on?"

If you take the time to create a patchset which allows PF to work on
FreeBSD, there's a much greater chance that PF could end up in FreeBSD.
(Assuming that the changes are structured in a way such that future
imports of PF would not be an overly complicated matter.)
