Given that it is REALLY had to get a combat bonus through feats or backgrounds in PF 2E, how would one convert the "Gnoll Killer" trait (LoF Player's Guide p10) to 2nd Edition Pathfinder?

I would make it into a background like some of the creature themed backgrounds from Lost Omens World Guide. I'd probably just change the name of Goblinblood Orphan to Gnoll Killer and replace the Goblin Lore with Gnoll Lore. (Keeping +2 Dex or Con, +2 Any, trained in Survival and Assurance [Survival].) If you're worried that's too simple or appears to be too low-effort, I might instead make it trained Stealth and Experienced Tracker.
In general, I would not try to replicate the mechanical benefits of the PF 1e campaign traits in 2e. I'd reuse the campaign trait names for campaign backgrounds, salvage what I could of the flavor text, and try to be reasonably true to their themes when deciding what ability boosts and feats they offer.
