Just upgraded Snort to v. 2.9.6.2 pkg v3.1.4 and now pfSense is throwing out this error and WAN goes down:
[ There were error(s) loading the rules: pfctl: DIOCXCOMMIT: Device busy - The line in question reads [0]: ] -

[ There were error(s) loading the rules: pfctl: DIOCXCOMMIT: Device busy - The line in question reads [0]: ]That error is not likely coming from Snort. It appears to be from pfSense itself as it is attempting to load your firewall rules. Just to see, remove the Snort package and reboot to see if this error recurs. If not, try installing Snort again.

Thank you Bill, it seems that reverting the pfSense conf to the previous one before Snort update solved the problem: pfSense reinstalled all the packages (including Snort but omitting NUT!) and all seems working now.
Strange thing the failed reinstall of the NUT package: my machine is not "messed up" with a lot of configurations or packages. The log said "unable to reinstall nut, take appropriate action".
I simply reinstalled the NUT package and the configuration was there!
Edit: now pfSense is dropping the PPPoE connection approximately every 30 minutes :(
