Hello, We promised to send a reply once we gathered some data, so here it is.
From what alanc told us Oracle spent well over 2 engineer years working on their port. This would require high amount of money for a successfull crowdsourcing campaign. 27 people including us (Adam and Jorge) responded that we would like to see pf ported to illumos. However, all of us were individuals without a backing company to hack with some serious amount of funds. Based on this fact, we conclude that the crowdsourcing campaign would fail.
