Current implementation of ALTQ and also PF is not dynamic. You apply changes (e.g. new Queue parameters), you basically have to flush all the queues and reload. That means, "pfctl -Fall" followed by "pfctl -f new-pf.conf" You can achieve this by creating a script that will called from cron. Be aware of the effect when flushing all the rules though. That would drop existing VPN sessions. I am not sure if there is an on-going project to support dynamic ALTQ/PF.
