Yes, there is no kernel parameter to make pf block everything by default. You make pf block everything by default by putting ``block all'' at the appropriate place in your pf.conf file. This is spelt out for you in the pf.conf(5) man page: To block everything by default and only pass packets that match explicit rules, one uses block all as the first filter rule.
