wlan0 not working in bhyve

It won't work because the WLAN interface basically has to spoof the MAC addresses of the VMs, and a WLAN interface won't allow you to do this. So you cannot bridge a wlan interface that's in STA (station; i.e. 'client') mode.

I don't use vm-bhyve, can it be working without vm-bhyve?

The problem isn't with bhyve(8), it's because of the way a wireless interface works. And sysutils/vm-bhyve is a collection of shell scripts that make life with bhyve(8) easier. How you set up PF for NAT is unrelated to this. You just have to translate the various interface/bridge names as sysutils/vm-bhyve uses a specific naming convention, and it might be different from yours. But that's all it is.
 
my wlan0 address is x.x.62.8/24
I created tap0 and bridge0, and set bridge0 x.x.61.1/24, then add "nat on wlan0 from { x.x.61.1 } to any -> (wlan0)" in /etc/pf.conf and started pf. I didn't use dnsmasq. I started bhyve by tap0 and set ip x.x.61.8 and gateway x.x.61.1, but it's still no network.

Your traffic will have the source address of the VM (x.x.61.8?), not the bridge's IP address.
