I use match for that.
My pass or block rules are "queue clean" and apply queue and pio this
way (just an example):
match out on $gw_if all set (queue(q_def, q_pri), prio (3, 7))
match out on $gw_if inet proto { tcp, udp } from $torrent_client to any set
(queue(q_dow, q_dow), prio (1, 1))
Hope that helps.
