The real man page you want is route(8).  What you put in your static
routes in rc.conf are the parameters to a 'route add' command.  For
example, if you want to write

 # route add foo bar

you'll put something like this in your rc.conf:

 static_routes="foo loopback"
 route_foo="foo bar"
 route_loopback="${hostname} 127.1"

This will cause rc.network to execute the commands

 route add foo bar"
 route add ${hostname} 127.1
