I too wanted to use PFSense on KVM/EL6 but network performance was
disappointing. My network engineers reverted to using VMware ESXi for
the time being.
My hope is with Fbsd 10 which includes virtio drivers by default (and
also has a SMP friendly PF :> ).
BTW, here's a QCOW2 of it, import image as RHEL6 profile (has all the
virtio stuff):

The root passwd is "password" so change it ASAP!
Even with this image I could not saturate 1 Gbps link (just rudimentary
test with "fetch -o /dev/null"), but it's still an improvement.
