Sure.  This isn't a problem and I think you're onto something:

root@fw:/ # tcpdump -nvi epair0b -e
tcpdump: listening on epair0b, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), snapshot
length 262144 bytes
^C
root@Jail 1:/ # tcpdump -nvi epair0b.60 -e
tcpdump: listening on epair0b.60, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet),
snapshot length 262144 bytes
