Pf and IPFW are significantly different these days.  I'm sure Scott or Bill could give you a full rundown of how different but for something as complicated as snort_inline (as opposed to snort-inline) I would expect a significant amount of development to be necessary. In addition, it would be a pretty significant feat to make a clean and functional GUI for Snort. There is a reason why there are half a dozen serious UI projects for Snort.  I doubt any of the core pfsense developers are interested in punishing themselves in this way when there are so many other things to be done with pfsense.

mmh... I am not a freebsd guru, but some times ago I found this
http://freebsd.rogness.net/snort_inline/

(I know is realted to ipfw.. but maybe it could be possible to work on it)

Ah...by the way.. An IPS would be very attractive.. but I think it is something very difficult to tune-up, so I think it could bring more problems than benefits.....

works specifically with iptables.  A significant amount of development would
be required to make it work with pf.
