I didn't receive any advice relevant to solving my problem, but I did manage to figure it out in the end. I thought I'd share my solution in case anyone else wants to do the same thing:
My /etc/pf.conf has the following lines: ext_if="rl0" external_addr="x.x.x.x" pass in on $ext_if from any to $external_addr label "$dstaddr in" pass out on $ext_if from $external_addr to any label "$srcaddr out" Activate the rules with "pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf", and then you can display the counters by doing a "pfctl -sl" which outputs something like: x.x.x.x in 14363 7448 734450 x.x.x.x out 13810 6362 683319 To zero the counters, I've just been calling "pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf" again, though there may be a more "proper" way.
