Having a queue
with a guaranteed bandwidth for every connection (client) would
require the creation of "dynamic queues" on the fly. I'm not aware of
such possibility.

ipfw with dummynet could do this. Very interesting feature. See DUMMYNET
(specifically the mask option) in ipfw(8):

"whereas when dynamic queues are used, each flow will share the
parent's pipe bandwidth evenly with other flows generated by the
same queue"

The only way I can think of doing something similar in PF would be randomly
assigning to one of N queues, like:

pass out on $ext_if queue q1 probability 33%
pass out on $ext_if queue q2 probability 50%
pass out on $ext_if queue q3
