Don't know about DD-WRT, but OpenWRT is VLAN capable. You may already 
have all that you need, using the VLAN idea.

For that matter, any reason pfSense couldn't be run in a vm with 
multiple virtual nics (which are, in essence, VLANs anyways)?

Even a P4 can run a vbox vm if it isn't doing much else. A console only 
vm should be even less heavy. I'd further guess that the native vm's 
(e.g. Khalid's thread some while back) would be even more copacetic 
than, say, (oracle) vbox.
