Yes, but first and formost, 192.168.1.3 should use *only* 11.22.33.41
as gateway, 192.168.1.2 (and posibly other hosts) should use 11.22.33.40
as gateway.

Both, 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3, are in the DMZ. 192.168.1.2 is a
webserver and 192.168.1.3 is mail/smtp server. Therefore is is crucial,
that 192.168.1.3 is using only 11.22.33.41 as gateway, because of
DNS/RDNS. 


With Linux/iptables one would establish different routing tables, "mark"
the packages and then set "ip rule" and SNAT rules accordingly. I find
this procedure over-complicated, so I was hoping for a simpler
approach with OpenBSD/pf.

The entire public subnet is routed through the ISP router (11.22.33.39)
which belongs to the same subnet.
