Sadly, not for me:

sudo /usr/local/bin/snort -i dna1@0 --daq-dir=/usr/local/lib/daq --daq pfring_dna --daq-mode passive not net (my entire 
netblock)

provides a firehose. But:

Running in packet dump mode

        --== Initializing Snort ==--
Initializing Output Plugins!
Snort BPF option: not net (my netblock)
pfring_dna DAQ configured to passive.
Acquiring network traffic from "dna1@0".

        --== Initialization Complete ==--

I know that’s an older pcap version, but it’s what ships with PF_RING.
