          Shouldn't be an issue.  I've heard of people using pfsense to load balance across 8 cable modems.

              FAQ.  Load balancing does not work with FTP.

                And you need a rule to exclude traffic to the ftphelper from balancing. This also can be found several times in other topics:

                at the top of firewall>rules, lan (and at other internal interfaces if needed):
                pass, protocol tcp/udp, source any, destination 127.0.0.1, port 1-65535, gateway default

                  You didn't ask about that.
