The tagging chapter is verbatim to

http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/tagging.html

except for the Ethernet frames section where a paragraph has been added to 
show how to do this on NetBSD as its brconfig differs from OpenBSD's.

Similarly, the QOS chapter is much of this verbatim:

http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/queueing.html

with BSD specific implementations added as needed. The Configuring 
Queueing section starts with which beginning versions of each BSD support 
ALTQ (useful in itself) as well as the necessary kernel compile options 
for Free/Dragonfly and the URL to the NetBSD patches. Diagrams have also 
replaced the ASCII versions.

HTH,
