Pf should already be available as kld and automatically be loaded as
soon as you start pf. Although I don't know if things are different with
crochet, I'm not using it.

Are binary updates with freebsd-update supported now with RELENG_11? I
compiled everything from source, but that was with 11-CURRENT and RC1 of
RELENG_11.

I don't remember exacly, but it was somewhere between 24h and 36h for
buildworld and buildkernel. And remember that you have to recompile all
ports if you update from a system built before 20160517 (see the
corresponding entry in /usr/src/UPDATING.
