Does this in any way affect pf on FreeBSD?

... Why? The rc scripts on FreeBSD heavily rely on pidfiles. It ensures
that the process name and pidfile contents match what it finds in the
process list to be sure it's not going to kill the wrong process. I can
alter sshguard's rc script to launch via daemon(8) so I can get a
pidfile again, but that seems silly.
