(Although not really related to the subject, this 'minor glitch' was
fixed by Henning. I'm posting this for the archives.)

Turns out the manpages weren't updated enough. The address family
*can* be specified. The BNF specification in pf.conf(5) should read
something like the following :

nat_rule       = [ "no" ] "nat" "on" ifspec  [ af ] [ protospec ] hosts
                 [ "->" address [ portspec ] ] .

I've seen patches which I dont understand but that are said to fix the
issue alltogether.

Cheers,
