PF cannot filter MAC addresses. You have to tag packets with the target
MACs using brconfig and handle these tagged packets with pf. This
requires a bridge connection to be created because these tags live only
inside the partcular bridge structure (or wtf :-P).

MAC filtering is a frequently rejected request on the openbsd-pf
lists. :-)
