pfSense supports only X86 based systems so that IXP435 board is incompatible.
Of the other boards you have suggested I would probably go with the D525 board. There are many people running similar systems.
The N270 is very old now. The Cedarview is the most recent CPU there but there are currectly some issues with the graphics driver under 2.0.X. It would probably by OK under 2.1 when that is released.You should probably also consider a complete appliance with the board in it already. For example:
http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/528808978/1U_Router_firewall.html
I give that link purely as an example, you should research available firewall/router platforms.You can rebrand pfSense. BSDperimeter can do that for you as a service if you contact them. They can do it far faster and better than you are likely to be able to. ;)

Dear Steve,
Many thanks for your kind information sharing, this was really very helpful, actually I am interested in purchasing the boards only because if I purchase the whole product then I have to pay the custom clearing charges according and pay alot of duty to import, It would be more beneficial for me to import the boards and built the chassis here locally.
Regarding the Rebranding the pfsense link you have sent I have already open it but there is no such a file present in the given path, is there any other how to?
any help will be highly appriciated.

There is no public information on rebranding that's up to date, complete, and accurate. If you're building a custom-branded product, you can afford to purchase the reseller subscription and get the pros to help with your product. We'd be glad to help.
