Okay, I understand. In fact, as I mentioned, I have it working already as 
you describe. I'm getting the impression that we have no intention of 
supporting the OpenBSD-ish AltQ syntax in pf.conf. That's fine, I can live 
with altqd.conf. However, maybe this confusing message should be removed 
from "pfctl"

No ALTQ support in kernel
ALTQ related functions disabled

As you (or someone earlier) mentioned, this message will show up every 
time you run pfctl even if you HAVE got altq support in your kernel (altqd 
support that is). It might be more appropriate to say "ALTQ classes and 
filters should be defined in /etc/altq.conf instead".

Thanks,
