For pfsense you'd really do a lot better with a small x86-64 system (mini-itx motherboard) that has four or more gigabit ethernet ports with Intel chipset onboard, attached to PCI-E 3.0 bus. In a small mini-itx case it would definitely be a lot bigger than a raspberry pi but also a great deal more capable.
Depending on your needs you can also get systems that have several 10GbE SFP+ cages on-motherboard.
