Here's an example of what works for me:

pseudo-device   vlan    10      #VLAN support

ifconfig_fxp1="up"
ifconfig_vlan0="inet 194.19.1.42 netmask 255.255.255.252 vlan 24 vlandev fxp1"
ifconfig_vlan1="inet 10.65.0.254 netmask 0xffffff00 vlan 57 vlandev fxp1"

On the Cisco 3548 switch:

interface FastEthernet0/48
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport mode trunk

Note that the native VLAN on this trunk is VLAN 1, and I'm specifically
*not* using this VLAN for anything.

(802.1q native VLAN is an incredibly bad idea, IMHO. But that's another
discussion entirely.)
