I have successfully upgraded via source from 3.6-stable to 3.7-stable, however I would strongly suggest just doing a binary upgrade via cd (or ftp if you can't afford the $45) as it's really not worth the trouble (I did it before you could download the 3.7 binaries). That and scratching the custom kernel, as you will not be getting any help with that. There were a lot of changes to pf stuff between 3.6 and 3.7, so I'm not surprised pfctl from 3.6 didn't work on 3.7 kernel, you must build 3.7 userland before the pf stuff will work again. But please, do a binary upgrade, and only use GENERIC kernels (I doubt you have a good reason to use a custom kernel) as those are the only supported methods. http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade37.html
