I presume you mean "does libpcap support generating the SKF_AD_QUEUE special packet offset in BPF filter programs?"  If 
so, the answer is "no"; there's probably no reason why there couldn't be a keyword in the libpcap filter language 
("queue {N}" or something such as that) to support it, although, of course, filters with that keyword would be rejected 
if either

        1) you're trying to do a live capture on anything other than a Linux PF_PACKET socket

or

        2) you're trying to read a savefile.

pcap_compile() is, of course, not the only way to get a BPF program; a library or application could, for example, 
generate the filter program by hand, which wouldn't be too bad if you weren't trying to filter on arbitrary 
expressions.-
