It's not and hasn't been in ...  I think there was someone fixing the 
documentation actually lately... I'll ping people and see where that went.

If you are using tunnel mode and gif you'll have trouble;  just use tunnel mode 
without gif and you'll be happy.

It's because (our) pf cannot NAT on incoming but only on outgoing interfaces.   
And you need to NAT on packet entry into the system...

The answer is use IPv6 and ... oh wait.. not the answer you wanted to hear;)

I haven't done it in probably 5 years or so now but basically you setup the nat 
on the incoming (probably your inside) interface and take care of localhost as 
much as needed.
