Read first on what ARP is in context of the networking.

Basically you're asking the same thing when you're asking whether PF
supports filtering based on MAC addresses or filtering by the ARP
protocol. You should direct your question to those who designed PF in
the first place why they didn't think of including layer2 filtering.
