We show how the excursion set moving barrier model for halo abundances may be generalized to the local non-Gaussian f_{nl} model. Our estimate assumes that the distribution of step sizes depends on f_{nl}, but that they are otherwise uncorrelated. Our analysis is consistent with previous results for the case of a constant barrier, and highlights some implicit assumptions. It also clarifies the basis of an approximate analytic solution to the moving barrier problem in the Gaussian case, and shows how it might be improved.
