      In the first run, I tried to figure out which NIC belongs to which device name.

      While installation, I typed a for autodetect and then installed a cable.

      Then, pfSense printed out em4 link up. (which is the correct port what I found out later)
      Then I pressed return for autodect and the autodetect reported em3 (which is wrong).

      When I removed the Ethernet Cable, pfSense printed: em4 link down.

      I repeated this down to em1 which was still on the same Intel card and reported as em0.

      Then I plugged in a cable into the motherboard onboard NIC which is em0 correctly, autoconnect
      reports this as usbbus0

      I don't know what this is for. I don't have any USB NIC, only a keyboard on the usb port.

      This is no problem for me as I know now the device names.
      Perhaps you want to fix the detection routine.
