I do and yes, it /appears/ to work.  Looking at Volker's pf.conf that
he posted, he's also got his queues on tun0 and it appears to work.
pf.conf:
ext_if="tun0"   # ADSL on rl0 uses pppoe to connect to the Internet
[SNIP]
altq on $ext_if priq bandwidth 1350Kb queue { q_pri, q_def }
queue q_pri priority 7
queue q_def priority 1 priq(default) 
And the result:

This is with 3.3-stable and the GENERIC kernel (on i386).
