        Maybe.
        TOR is not a VPN.
        You would have to load up and configure a FreeBSD TOR client and then setup pfSense to send all traffic via that. I think it would almost certainly require some command line tinkering. Search the forum I seem to remember this being asked before.
        TOR is often very slow compared to a straight connection are you sure you want all traffic using it?

            See http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=10138.0;prev_next=prev - and indeed it is not an easy process.  Here's a blog detailing a process to achieve a SIMILAR (but not IDENTICAL) goal:  http://www.libcrack.so/2012/02/25/installing-tor-alix2d2-running-pfsense-2-0/.

            Best Wishes on this, and if it works out well post back with info on what you did to make it work!
