I have a Few questions about seige weapons and Large creatures.
Q31:
Inappropriately Sized Firearms: You cannot make optimum use of a firearm that is not properly sized for you. A cumulative –2 penalty applies on attack rolls for each size category of difference between your size and the size of the firearm. If you are not proficient with the firearm, a –4 nonproficiency penalty also applies. The size of a firearm never affects how many hands you need to use to shoot it, the exception being siege firearms and Large or larger creatures. In most cases, a Large or larger creature can use a siege firearm as a two-handed firearm, but the creature takes a –4 penalty for using it this way because of its awkwardness.
How exactly does this work? Can a large creature only carry a cannon around like a two-handed weapon, or can he shoot it like a nomal two-handed gun? If so, can he use feats that normally only affect two-handed guns?
Q32: Is their any way to load a siege weapon faster? Does counting as four crewmembers for being large allow you to load and aim as if you were 4 guys?

I would say if you wanted to allow a large creature and he wanted to use feats to make him better at using firearm siege weapons two handed I don't see a problem. I could also see the large creature like a hill giant being able to load the weapon then aim and fire it like a normal firearm. Though unless he made alterations to the weapon he would still take -4 to fire it. Think of making it with a stock like a large blunderbuss.
You might want to post this higher up in the Pathfinder section. You're more likely to get an answer from people that use the text in question.
