pfsense is a gui based firewall, all settings are stored in xml file.. While you can edit this - would not be recommended.
If you want to view the full set of rules, gui doesn't show everything

There's nothing to stop you from rolling your own with FreeBSD. I did that many years ago, with Slackware Linux. Linux based firewalls, while coming with a GUI, tend to support text configs.
Of course, there's a company called Cisco that seems to know a thing or two about firewalls & routers.
