Description
would it be possible to port forward via mac address, or create aliases via mac address, which ports can already be forwarded to aliases. this would be useful for things like minecraft where if you change a static map you also have to re configure the port forward too. if we used the mac address then it doesnt matter what address the system is set too it will always go to that system.

No. NAT is handled by pf, and pf doesn't work at L2.
You could assign a static address for a specific MAC, put that IP address in a named alias, and then port forward to the alias. Then change only the alias if you change the static IP address.
