/etc/rc.conf:

ifconfig_fxp0_alias0="inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 0xffffffff"
ifconfig_fxp0_alias1="inet 192.168.1.3 netmask 0xffffffff"
ifconfig_fxp0_alias2="inet 192.168.1.4 netmask 0xffffffff"
ifconfig_fxp0_alias3="inet 192.168.1.5 netmask 0xffffffff"

Change the interface name and IP address as necessary, the important bit
if that you use a netmask of 0xffffffff (or 255.255.255.255) for the
aliases.
