It's in UPDATING and the release notes, but if you use the
gifconfig_gif# rc.conf variables they will be created.  It you just want
to create them on the fly do "ifconfig gif<#> create" or to get an
arbitray new one "ifconfig gif create" (the new one's name will be
printed to stdout).  In current, there's also a new variable
cloned_interfaces which can be used to create any clonable interfaces to
be configured normaly.
