The web-based documentation for PF is out of date. For NetBSD 6.0,
what you've done in /etc/rc.conf is sufficient, assuming you're on an
architecture that supports the new type of modules. (The old LKM
modules have been supplanted.)
I've submitted a PR[1] to update the web documentation, but it hasn't
been processed yet.
