Has there ever been an effort to port PF over to linux, or to create an adaption layer that makes things compatible?

pf has been ported to Debian/kFreeBSD, but afaik no effort has been made to port it to the Linux kernel. A lot of networking gear already runs a BSD kernel, so my guess is the really high-level network devs don't bother because they already know BSD so well.
