You should leave your pf.conf alone and rename your interfaces (based on
which one is inserted -- maybe via devd).  You could also code something up
in like /etc/rc.d/early.sh to figure out which one is available and rename
it.

for example:

ifconfig msk0 name external
ifconfig xl0 name internal
ifconfig sk0 name wireless

and just leave ext_if="external" in your pf.conf.
