Yes it should all work fine with pfSense 2.0.1.
You might find you need to do the Broadcom network card tweak. You might not. It's hard to say since you have one dual port card and two single port cards. I would guess that you will need the tweak.

Broadcom NIC should be fine. I used a dual port Broadcom NIC for a previous build without any issues or tweaks.
