Jumping in to this little fray... you're exactly right. But the handbook for pf says to go to openbsd for "better" info on how to setup pf, which then has instructions using a syntax that doesn't exist on FreeBSD. This is not just about google searches - although users end up going there because of the syntax issues. Just to clarify based on the OP thread.
