I can store a whitelist in a file and when it changes I can trigger (say)
reload of npf. (I might possibly do something like tail -f on a file to
trigger this. And a client side job will update the file.)

But the next question is, I need npf to not entertain request from
blocklistd to block a whitelisted ip stored in a file. Can someone suggest
how to do this?
