Given your description it would be difficult to help you. Give a more detailed description of your network, what kind of switch are you using? how many hosts are there? what kind of connection have you got to the internet? Is pf enabled in /etc/rc.conf? Something as serious as a firewall, on large network could end up giving you an ulcer! I am currently configuring a OpenBSD firewall in a similar senario, prior to deploying the firewall on a production network I've been testing it in a lab.
To answer your second question on 'capping' yes is the answer, the pf man page refers to it as 'queueing'.
