You can only use 'port domain' when you specify either from or to (or
both), otherwise it's not clear whether source or destination port must
be domain (and you can't express 'either source or destination port
equals domain', you need two rules for that). So

  'pass from port domain', 'pass from any port domain',
  'pass from port domain to any', 'pass from any port domain to any'

are all valid and equivalent, but

  'pass port domain'

is invalid, and that's what you have.

I don't know what that person was referring to, you should have asked
him/her. There's nothing wrong with doing queuing and stateful filtering
at the same time.
