Ok, 

I have got It working. 

I have created an 736 MB archive of my 160 GB hard drive. 
Now I am trying to restore It from my mac with : 

$ gzcat pfSense_HDD.gz | dd of=/dev/disk1 bs=1m


It has started at 19h52 and at 32h02 it is still not finished… 
I thing I'll go to sleep and see if the baby is born tomorow morning. 

Is there anything I can do to speed up the process ?


Anyway thank you for all this useful help.
