Thanks. About two years ago, I looked at ALTQ on FreeBSD 4.x. Although the patch compiles properly, there is one point that made me give it up : since this ALTQ version is not bound to any firewall framework, it does use it own packet matching engine which is - IMHO - very poor. As far as I can remember, you may indeed only match IP addresses and port numbers while I wanted to give a high priority to tiny ACK packets and a very low priority to non-interactive ssh session (matching the TOS field in IPv4 header).
