Are you planning to use mlppp, or something else, like load-balancing?
I use 8 modems on vlans for mlppp and it works great. If you're not
using mlppp and the pppoe sessions will all be using the same gateway
then you may have problems. This does not work in pfsense 1.x, and I
know there's been a lot of discussion in the forums over whether it
works in 2.0 right now. I think not.

True - if you have static IPs with different gateways, this would help.  Your 
ISP would need to help with ensuring each PPPoE session/IP had a unique gateway.
