Speculation, but educated speculation:

The mac68k install process is "different" -- and relies on a MacOS
program we have source for, but don't have the tools to recompile it. 
This program does the 'MAKEDEV' process post install, but it predates
PF (and a lot of other things) -- so you should probably do a:

   # sh MAKEDEV all

after first boot (this takes a while, but then, you are probably
getting used to this by now. 8-)

I think your machine never had the /dev/pf (and who knows what else)
created after install.

Nick.
