nope, doesn't fix it. Just upgraded. Still as broke as it was an hour ago.
The system is a Dell Optiplex (I can't find the model number at this time) It
has a Pentium 3 and a 10 GB harddrive, if that helps at all.

So let me get this straight.
The cable that's plugged into the LAN nic if unplugged from LAN and
plugged into each of the OPT nics works? Sounds like a switch or
cable issue. Have you tried the reverse? Plug the cables that are in
the non-working OPT interfaces into the known working interface
Well, I have seemed to have fixed it, but the solution makes no sense to me.
Perhaps it will make more sense to those of you with more networking knowledge
than I.
All of the cables leaving the PfSense box went to switches. The one hooked up
to the LAN had the cable plug into a regular port
So called uplink ports are meant to plug a switch into another
switch, not a router. Some newer switches also do cable autosense and
will cross the RX/TX pairs if needed (your Linksys probably does
this).
