Yes, there is no kernel parameter to make pf block everything by
default. You make pf block everything by default by putting ``block
all'' at the appropriate place in your pf.conf file.
This is spelt out for you in the pf.conf(5) man page:
To block everything by default and only pass packets that match
explicit rules, one uses
block all
as the first filter rule.
