actually, i use pfSense in hvm quite a while... it works. recently i 
tried to get pfSense in pv, but that needs to be polished some time 
before it is ready to use. (it works, but it is half broken that way and 
i spent the whole day yesterday to get a clear view on that problem).

make sure, you can access that dom0 in event of emergency. If anything 
happens to your pfsense, which is possible, you probably can't access 
your dom0 anymore and are stuck and thats probably not what you want.
btw, you don't need to passthrough your nic for that behavior. In a 
bridged setup you just have to leave your bridge interface to the 
outside without an ip address.
