Would like to be able to use the hyphen character (-) in alias names. This would help when migrating from m0n0wall to pfsense as m0n0wall already allows hyphens.

As you are posting a bounty, how much are you willing to pay the developer who implements this fix for you?

I'm willing to negotiate that based on feedback from folks willing and able to implement the changes. Any idea how much time this would take?

This is not likely to be possible. It's a limitation of pf, not pfSense:
From
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/macros.html
:
Quote
Macro names must start with a letter and may contain letters, digits, and underscores. Macro names cannot be reserved words such as pass, out, or queue.
m0n0wall uses ipfilter, not pf.

It just might be your luck day, if you only knew.

short of renaming the hyphen underwater and crossing fingers that it works as intended.
I believe it also affects port ranges.
