Can't answer your questions directly, but the following may be
informative:

>From the fine Handbook
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls-pf.html

	Warning: When browsing the PF FAQ, please keep in mind that
	different versions of FreeBSD can contain different versions of PF.
	Currently, FreeBSD 7.X and later are using the same version of PF as
	OpenBSD 4.1.

The "PF FAQ" being referred to is that of OpenBSD.
