Or you could take advantage of that neat little thing in rc.network that
runs /etc/start_if.<interface> for you.  This is what I do on all my
boxes.  I stuff all my aliases into /etc/start_if.fxp0 so I don't have to
overload rc.conf (it's overloaded enough already :)).

Relevant lines from /etc/rc.network (starts line #57 rc.network version
1.39.2.14):
...
for ifn in ${network_interfaces}; do
            showstat=false
            if [ -e /etc/start_if.${ifn} ]; then
                    . /etc/start_if.${ifn}
                    showstat=true
            fi
...

Just something to consider.
