You can do it by running
sysctl net.inet.ip.pfil.inbound="ipfw,pf"
sysctl net.inet.ip.pfil.outbound="ipfw,pf"

Then add rules on the Firewall->Rules that limit the sessions of users to wanted limits by using "Simultaneous client connection limit" under Advanced options of rules.

first of all thanks ermal for the kind reply.
i've been successfully able to accomplish what i want to do.
For the sake of pfsense community, i want to share with you guys here.

Actually, what i want to do is using captive-portal with freeradius attr, Max-All-Session with sql database (freeradius server is on another box). So, that i can generate prepaid account with time limit (eg: 5 hours of usage) which the account will be automatically expired/rejected when the limit is exceeded.

It seems that my problem lies in config file of freeradius. I need to add some line for noresetcounter. In freeradius version 2.0, the setting to be enable is at ../modules/counter ;to enable noresetcounter, add a line under instantiate to enable noresetcounter in radiusd.conf, and a line to enable noresetcounterin /site-enable/default under authorize. I installed freeradius with -mysql support.
