        Yes.
        Read the documentation on the homepage of tor
        –> http://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-unix.html.en

        But this is unsupported and you are on your own.

        We do what we must, because we can.

          if you run tor as a server it can be hard on pfsense you will want to raise your state table and also set pfsense as "aggressive". I run a tor relay in the lab with 10mb up / down set for it, pfsense has been dealing with it great. but I'm not hosting it on the pfsense box.

          Tor is one of the best tools for testing hardware and or mucking with least cost routing…cant do that part with pfsense....but upsteam i have some devices doing it. Tor allows you to bring and turn around as much traffic as your willing to give it.
