OK I have uncovered what the problem is.
The pf version running on Freebsd 9.0 matches the version running on openbsd
4.5. Found it on man pf at the end.

The documentation on the Openbsd website for pf is for Openbsd 5.0 and it
has warning saying "NOTE: This information is for OpenBSD 4.7. NAT
configuration was significantly different in earlier versions."
http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ has more info about how back dated the
9.0 Freebsd production version of pf is.

The Freebsd handbook had a detailed section on pf including rules examples
matching the version of pf included with 9.0 But someone allowed it to be
removed in the current version of the handbook.

So here we are with an outdated version of pf in the current production
9.0 version of Freebsd and there is no documentation available on nat rule
syntax in the handbook or at openbsd/pf.

Going to dig through the 9.0 pf man pages for the info
