Thanks for the insight.

I found a pf ruleset that does this (but not fighting at the source; it 
still allows spoofed packets to be sent _out_).

   set skip on lo
   ext_if = "em0"
   antispoof quick for $ext_if

The antispoof expands to this:

   block drop in quick on ! em0 inet from 64.156.193.0/24 to any
   block drop in quick inet from 64.156.193.115 to any
