You can check out the following URL to use Squid with PF.

http://www.benzedrine.cx/transquid.html

Which version of FreeBSD are you using? What kind of proxy server do you
want to use squid for? Transparent or just a normal forward proxy?

Since you will be using PF, remember to include the following parameter
while compiling Squid either from source or from ports:

"--enable-pf-transparent"

Go for the latest stable release of Squid which is Squid-2.6.STABLE16
currently.

You can find the source package from the URL below:

http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.6/squid-2.6.STABLE16.tar.gz

To achieve NATing using PF, the following tutorial will help:

Personally for me, I am using IPFW over PF because I was introduced to
IPFW first.

However, both should do the job fine.

Hope that helps.

Thanking you...
