Yes.  However I believe this does solve the incompatibility between PF
and vimage, which is fantastic.  There's been a lot of work gone into
FreeBSD network stack to add capabilities that OpenBSD simply doesn't
have -- mostly to do with fine-grained locking, multiprocessing support
and virtualization -- all of which makes the importing process pretty
non-trivial.

	Cheers,

PS.  Mac OS X Lion now uses PF for firewalling too.  Apparently it's
even older than the PF in FreeBSD:
