Quite straightforward, but still asking: I have to do this on all my interfaces, right?
For all the interfaces which will be on vlan.  You can create multi
vlan on one physical iface, if that's what you meant.
Oh, and if I do packetfiltering, I still have to do that on the physical interface, right?
No quite familiar with pf.  ALTQ setting should be applied to physical
iface, while rest of the rules _may_ be applied to vlan iface.
Do I have to 'addm' the vlan interfaces to bridge0, or the physical interfaces?
Add vlan iface to bridge, after applying following patch:

OK, thanks. Will this method work with every kind of NIC (i. e. no hardware support is needed)?
Hardware vlan tagging support is not mandatory.
