Are there any way to add new rules to pf without write the rules to the pf.conf

Hi.
I want to add new rules to pf dynamically but the only one way that I found from the websites and a man page is that I must write my new rules to pf.conf and use this command line to flush and load all rules

Code:

pfctl -F all -f /path/pf.conf

Are there anyone know how to add the rules by command line or any ways without flush old rules and read new rules such as the command line of ipfw.

Code:

ipfw add 100 allow all from any to any

Or likes the command line of pf that add a new host to the table.

Code:

pfctl -t table1 -T add 127.0.0.1

Are there anyone know how I can do that?

Thanks.
