No need to patch anything. It is available right out-of-the-box. See
ifconfig(8) for details.
(from the FAQ)
9.8 How can I setup Ethernet aliases?
Add ``netmask 0xffffffff'' to your ifconfig command-line like the following:
ifconfig ed0 alias 204.141.95.2 netmask 0xffffffff
Use the ``netmask ...'' if the aliases are in the same subnet as the
primary address.
