Checking pf.conf configuration

Hi all

I'd be appreciative of any input you could offer on the following 
pf.conf file please.

1. I am wanting to connect a Win98SE box to the OBSD that is acting as a 
firewall so that the Windows box can access the Internet and all that 
good stuff. Do I need to change anything in this pf.conf file to enable 
me to do this? I suspect not, but just want to make sure first.

2. I have the BitIP rule disabled. The IP address is for my workstation 
behind the OBSD firewall. If I enabled this by deleting the #, would 
this enable me to access Bit-Torrents, because up till now I haven't 
been able to, and I am wondering if this is why?

3. If I wanted to install privoxy on my firewall:
(a) is this wise ?
(b) what would I need to add/amend on this pf.conf to enable my outgoing 
packets to be anonymized at source?

Thanks for your thoughts. Here's the pf.conf file:
