I have experienced the same. My temporary workaround is to enable service watchdog on Avahi. After enabling that, after reboot service watchdog starts Avahi.
I hope this helps, but hopefully the workaround isn't necessary in the future ;)

Any hints on doing that ??
Enabling a watchdog ?

Its a installable pfSense package: "Service_Watchdog sysutils 1.8.3 Monitors for stopped services and restarts them."
After that under the services/servicewatchdog menu on the webgui you can configure some services for it to check/restart. -
Are you running pfSense in Hyper-V? I had trouble with the service not starting and it was Hyper-V related.
