OK, I guess you are saying that you put those _commands_ in
/etc/rc.conf? Don't do that. DO NOT PUT COMMANDS IN /etc/rc.conf,
On the manpage, rc.conf(5),
The purpose of rc.conf is not to run commands or perform system startup
actions directly. Instead, it is included by the various generic startup
scripts in /etc which conditionalize their internal actions according to
the settings found there.
rc.conf is not guaranteed to be run only once during startup. It is
also run during normal operation (by periodic(8) for example).
You should have,
ifconfig_fxp0="inet 192.168.10.5 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_fxp0_alias0="192.168.10.6 netmask 255.255.255.255"
Your third command in rc.conf is extraneous and is not needed.
