That is not true. For FreeBSD 5.2.1 the FreeBSD port will install kldmodules 
that give /dev/pf and all. It is a bit outdated and no longer maintained, 
though!

Note that you need:
options INET6
options PFIL_HOOKS
options RANDOM_IP_ID
device bpf

in your kernconf to use the port. Look at your console if kldload 
of /usr/local/modules/pf.ko fails.
