I'm playing with the latest 5.3 snapshot and I'm getting an
always-empty /var/log/pflog. I'm wondering if there's a problem with
the snapshot (unlikely) or something I did wrong in my configuration
(much more likely).

ps -aux shows "pflogd" is not running, which I assume is the source of
the problem.  In rc.conf (which I did not change of course) the pf
lines are:

   pf=YES                  # Packet filter / NAT
   pf_rules=/etc/pf.conf           # Packet filter rules file
   pflogd_flags=                   # add more flags, e.g. "-s 256"

And here's my rc.conf.local:

  ntpd_flags=""
  hotplugd_flags=""
  named_flags=""
  check_quotas=NO

That's it. Is there something I should be doing in rc.conf.local or
elsewhere to get pflogd running? (I could do pflogd_flags=YES, maybe,
but I thought that wasn't necessary, that pflogd would start
automagically if pf was enabled.)
