IMO it's deprecated, a documentation issue and rc should warn.  The 
gifconfig approach is obsolete due to no support for tunneling over 
IPv6.  I asked about it a while back, but got silence.

Just use cloned_interfaces and ifconfig:

cloned_interfaces="gif0"
ifconfig_gif0="inet6 tunnel 2001:db8::1 2001:db8::2 -accept_rtadv"
ifconfig_gif0_alias0="inet 192.0.2.1 192.0.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.255"
