It interrupts to receive incoming network packets, no?

"rxq" means receive queue. Would be "txq" for transmit queue. But what precisely is your problem?

I was curious if this was normal or a issue with my opnsense operating system or my hardware

That's perfectly normal. The network interface notifies the kernel via an interrupt whenever there are new packets in the receive queue.
