Welcome aboard!  Since this is FreeBSD support, I suppose I could answer
some of these :)

Absolutely!  See /etc/rc.conf's ifconfig_lo0 example entry for adding an
alias.

Can you be more specific?  It's easiwer if we can help you configure for a
particular situation.

Sure.  The only cards that support 100mbit are PCI:  The Intel
EtherExpress Pro/100B (yes the B is significant), any Digital-based card
(Kingston, Dayna, etc.), or the 3com 3c90x series (which I don't
recommend).  The Intel is the best supported hands down.
