    PF can drive altq on its own, at least under netbsd-4.  No altqd
needed.

    This is a simplification of what I have under 4.x:

$ grep queue /etc/pf.conf
altq on $interface cbq bandwidth 12Mb queue { def, guest }
queue def bandwidth 75% cbq(default borrow ecn)
queue guest bandwidth 600Kb cbq(ecn)
[chop]
pass in quick on $interface from 10.0.0.128/25 to any keep state queue guest

$ config -x /netbsd |grep ALTQ
options         ALTQ            # Manipulate network interfaces' output queues
options         ALTQ_BLUE       # Stochastic Fair Blue
options         ALTQ_CBQ        # Class-Based Queueing
options         ALTQ_FIFOQ      # First-In First-Out Queue
options         ALTQ_FLOWVALVE  # RED/flow-valve (red-penalty-box)
options         ALTQ_HFSC       # Hierarchical Fair Service Curve
options         ALTQ_PRIQ       # Priority Queueing
options         ALTQ_RED        # Random Early Detection
options         ALTQ_WFQ        # Weighted Fair Queueing


    I could probably trim some of the config lines, but was fiddling
around once upon a time.
