Your ability to utilize the increased bandwidth is dependent on how the uplink is configured. If you create an etherchannel, then the uplink is a function of layer 2, and it should just work. I personally don't have any transparent PFSense boxes in production - I try to leave the layer 2 stuff to the Cisco infrastructure, and use PFsense for Layer 3. If you have control of the upstream router, you can use the OpenBGP package for load balancing across multiple peers, which would let you have multiple independent physical links to the upstream switches. If I may ask - why use transparent mode? I prototype my configurations in a test environment - I have a little old cisco router, a P4 rackmount and a few 2924s and 2950s I bought from a local technology recycler. It cost about $250 to get a network testbed set up for the basic stuff, and I've added on as junk has come my way. It's absolutely worth the money.
