I was halfway through 9.3, and I wasn't about to cancel it :-)

Anyway, PF is now working, so I can say with some degree of confidence 
that it does *not* work on FreeBSD 8, at least with the FXP0.

When the dust settles a bit (I went 8.2 -> 8.4 -> 9.3 on this weekend 
alone) I'll dip my toe in the FreeBSD 10 waters.

I never touch the installed stuff; I did have some trouble with the ports, 
though (something about Makefile errors) so I'll do what I did on my 
MacBook (its ports is based on FreeBSD's) i.e. blow it away and reinstall 
the entire ports tree.
