I make a brief look into code (I am not a kernel hacker nor a
programmer).

There are a few files with PFIL_HOOKS-dependant #ifdefs, but it is
strongly
tied with the code.

/sys/net/bridge.c
/sys/netinet/ip_input.c
/sys/netinet/ip_output.c
/sys/netinet6/ip6_forward.c
/sys/netinet6/ip6_input.c
/sys/netinet6/ip6_output.c

Darren Reed has some pieces of code on his site, but I
did not read it.
ftp://coombs.anu.edu.au/pub/net/ip-filter/pfil-1.26.tar.gz

According to pfil(9) manual
-----------
BUGS
     The current pfil implementation will need changes to suit a
threaded ker-
     nel model.

May be this is the reason not to make it default.

Sincerely yours,
Sergey Mokryshev.
