Hello,
"Chris" found some minor issues with the port. I incooperated his comments
and you'll find the new version on the webpage:
1) The sample pf.conf is now installed to ${PREFIX}/etc/pf.conf.default in
order not to overwrite a users modified version.
2) pf.sh is installed as pf.sh.sample as well and pfctl is now called with
complete pathname (${PREFIX}/sbin/pfctl) instead of pfctl alone.
He further asked:

I personally think, that 1) is covered by pkg-descr and that this is enough.
What's your opinon?
2) is a rather generic issue and nothing special about pf. I don't think we
need to mention.
If one would write a small step-by-step tutorial on getting pf operational
after installing from the port, I'd love to include that to the PORTSDOC
Thanks for your feedback
Max
