With normal Max/MSP I was grabbing data from a midiin object that was looking at a specific virtual port, then I was doing some stuff and sending it to a midiout object on the same port... Live was using that port for in.

I was basically using Max to translate the midi signal before Live "saw it."

Ultimately I'm want to be grabbing data from APC40 (via a BOMES virtual port in/out from live) so I can remap what the APC is getting/sending to Live.

I don't see a way to do this with MfL... seems like I need to have a port record enabled to get midi data from it, and it's too late to process midi to send to APC at this point. Is this correct? Do I need the regular version of Max to do this? Or is there a way to have a MfL object grab from a specific midi port directly?

Or am I totally going about this the wrong way? Is there live. object way to directly change how the APC behaves?

Thanks!

In M4L, you need an audio/MIDI track for every input/output you wish to use.
It can't deal with audio/midi data that is outside of Live.

Hmmm...

Is there native MFL support of APC? I recall a video turning it into a step sequencer or something... anyone know the basic gist of how that would be done?

Using a MIDI Track to send notes to the APC.
There are some control script features for the APC and controllers in general, but they aren't documented yet.

I've been able to send /receive midi from max5 using midi yoke...
only thing I had to do is open a new 'patcher' from the m4l patcher...
routing to midiyokes ports from the m4l patcher doesn't work.
