You cannot load pf from inside a jail (with or without vnet).  Kernel 
modules are global objects loaded from the base system or you compile 
the devices into the kernel;  it is their state which is virtualised.

If you load multiple firewalls they will all be available to the base 
system and all jails+vnet.  Whichever you configure in which one is up 
to you.  Just be careful as an unconfigured firewall might have a 
default action affecting the outcome of the overall decision.

For example you could have:

a base system using ipfilter and setting pf to default accept everything
and a jail+vnet using pf and setting ipfilter there to accept 
everything.


Hope that clarifies some things.
