Can I ask why you don't want to instead use VLANs? It will be cheaper and
easier to manage...unless you're dealing with a bandwidth issue, in which
case you're probably better just using multiple boxes.
I don't think pfSense can do Multi-GB-Packet-Routing (on i386) - unless
somebody claims the opposite.
About the only reason I can see for using dedicated cards over a
VLAN-trunk is policy.
If policy demands that network-segmentation has to be done via dedicated
NICs, then I'd get a really big box with lot's of PCIe slots ;-)
