how to arrange for stf0 to be created before the pf script is run - as
network_ipv6 requires 'routing', but the pf script says it must be run
before 'routing', if I am reading the 'REQUIRE' and 'BEFORE' lines
correctly.

Pete,

I've played with that problems a few times. It's not a perfect
solution, but you may create your own pf loading script and place it
in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/. To make sure it's running late in startup,
use a proper # REQUIRE: line.

That way (and that what makes me saying it's not perfect) pf load
script /etc/rc.d/pf is being run but aborts loading pf rules in
first place and later (when rc is working though
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/) pf rules are loaded by your custom script.

HTH,

Volker
