David,

OpenBSD's "pf" has an interesting option called "scrub" that I don't believe
you explored. The URL for the manpage is
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf.conf&sektion=5&arch=i386&apr
opos=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current and says:

   "Traffic normalization is used to sanitize packet content in such a way
     that there are no ambiguities in packet interpretation on the receiving
     side. The normalizer does IP fragment reassembly to prevent attacks
that
     confuse intrusion detection systems by sending overlapping IP
fragments."

Some of its options, such as "random-id" could inhibit nmap success.

Cheers,

apl
