I am sure. If it sounds unreasonable, get a live firehose, and see if you can control the amount of water received in your mouth. I don't think your question is entirely clear.. Please note there is also a pf mailing list http://www.benzedrine.cx/mailinglist.html . You state you want to control the download speed on a LAN, implying all incoming and outgoing packets are on this LAN. If this is the case put pf+altq on each machine, and queue outgoing packets. Seems simple enough to me.
From the faq:
"PF will record the queue in the state table entry so that packets traveling back out fxp0 that match the stateful connection will end up in the ssh queue. Note that even though the queue keyword is being used on a rule filtering incoming traffic, the goal is to specify a queue for the corresponding outgoing traffic; the above rule does not queue incoming packets.
