I don't know if gated supports multiple nets on the same interface
but I do know that you can alias at least one network on lo0 and
export it via OSPF.  That scheme works fine with 3.6A and probably
3.5 also.

I have one network aliased to lo0 at the site running OSPF.  I just
aliased two non-contiguous nets on lo0 at a site running RIP and
both aliased nets were exported.  I would think OSPF would do the
same.
