3.7 in RELENG_6, 3.5 in RELENG_5, 4.1 in what is to become RELENG_7.

There are also patches for RELENG_6 to update to 4.1 pf, but given your=20
inexperience with compilation that might not be the best choice for you. =20
In any case, they are at: http://people.freebsd.org/~mlaier/PF41/ with=20
instructions.

If this box can take a downtime once in a while (i.e. not 100% mission=20
critical) and you are interested in helping, then consider running the=20
latest CURRENT.  It is in good shape and has the newest pf (4.1).  Just=20
grab a snapshot or compile from source.
