pfSense-tools is no longer used in pfSense 2.3 (which is in beta).

Oct 2014 thread on FreeBSD-based pfSense fork of OpenBSD pf, https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=83075.0
"2.2 should prove to be significantly more scalable than OpenBSD, since we have SMP-capable pf now, which isn't doable in OpenBSD (and will likely be a number of years until it is). Plus AES-NI, more coming soon. https://blog.pfsense.org/?p=1473
Bug fixes are brought over into FreeBSD from OpenBSD as needed (sometimes by us, sometimes by others), though FreeBSD pf is essentially a fork at this point since making it SMP-capable changed things significantly. It's mostly separately-maintained at this point."

I can't see where any trace of MIPS products by Netgate. Are you sure? http://store.netgate.com/
It looks like ARM and MIPS support was on their radar almost 5 years ago https://blog.pfsense.org/?p=472 so I guess we should not get our hopes high yet.

BSD Perimeter (the company behind pfSense) has an immediate full-time, permanent position for a web developer and designer in our north central Austin office.
Successful candidate will work on our public-facing websites, the open source front-end of pfSense, and a variety of proprietary customer and internal projects. This position will be responsible for both the design and implementation of these projects.
BSD Perimeter is the leading provider of BSD-based network security appliances, and the company behind pfSense, one of the most widely used firewalls. We’re a small, growing company, with the opportunity for one person to have a significant impact. Our websites as a whole see millions of page views every month.
Location: Austin, TX. Remote candidates will not be considered. We will consider those who can relocate quickly at their own expense.
