Nope.

tun0 implies 2.0.5, correct?  From /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/if_ix.c :

/*ZZZ no work done on this, this is just here to remind me*/
#include "bpfilter.h"
#if NBPFILTER > 0
#include <net/bpf.h>
#include <net/bpfdesc.h>
#endif /* NBPFILTER > 0 */

ergo, in the 2.0.5-RELEASE ix driver, there is no bpf support.
