I hate when people push other options but if you do invest some time and money into VLANs it will pay off. You could give that Intel NUC so many more interfaces then just two.
If you want to try USB stuff check here: https://www.freebsd.org/releases/10.3R/hardware.html#usb Click the "[amd64, i386, ia64, pc98] USB Ethernet adapters can be found in the section listing Ethernet interfaces <https://www.freebsd.org/releases/10.3R/hardware.html#ethernet>." ASIX Electronics AX88178A/AX88179 USB Gigabit Ethernet adapters (axge(4) <http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=axge&sektion=4> driver) You would want USB 3.0 support if you want to support Gigabit speeds. I never got to get that far into USB testing. The last time I tried messing with USB adapters they kept falling out of the system and were unstable. The only other thing that I do not know is if the USB drivers from FreeBSD 10.3 are even on pfSense...there has been talk about missing kernel modules for some devices so support for a certain device may not be there.
