Regarding your first point, PF can control access to 80/tcp, but that is system wide - It won't let me tie it down to a specific application.
As for security levels, IIRC the OpenBSD team had actually dismissed them. I haven't got the link to hand, but there were a couple of interviews with senior devs who had said the concept was flawed.

I'll try to dig out the links when I get home tonight.

Cheers.
