Will the switch send vlan 1 tagged or untagged?  If it's tagged, just
create vlan1 on the pfsense box.  If it's going to send it untagged
(most switches will for "native" vlans), then you'll need an IP on the
physical interface (I'm not entirely sure if we support that setup).

Hi, I was wondering, if I'm going to use one NIC for access to 5 VLANs
through a 802.1q trunk, what is the proper way to access the native
VLAN in PFSense.

I am using some SRW248G4 linksys switches and they force VLAN1 to be
present on all trunks, also I don't know where the setting is, but I'm
pretty sure the native VLAN on these trunks is VLAN1. The native VLAN
is the VLAN where the trunk port sees frames that come in untagged to
the Trunk port.

Since I'm using VLAN1, I want to make the Firewall's trunk port so
that it sees VLANs 1,2,3,10 and 11, but I'm unsure if I should be
using xl0 (the parent interface to the trunk port) as the port for
VLAN1 or set up a vlan type interface for VLAN1, that way the two
options are:

xl0->VLAN1
vlan0->VLAN2
vlan1->VLAN3
vlan2->VLAN10
vlan3->VLAN11

and the other is

vlan0->VLAN1
vlan1->VLAN2
vlan2->VLAN3
vlan3->VLAN10
vlan4->VLAN11

Do you have any tips on doing this?

thanks in advance guys!
