I have a 14 ifconfig_lo0_aliasX entries in my rc.conf on a FreeBSD 2.2.5-R machine, and there is no need to add an explicit route. I checked and none of the /etc/rc.* files seem to add in a route to 127.0.0.1. On a FreeBSD 2.2.2-R machine I have 16 'ifconfig lo0 alias' commands in rc._local_ and again there's no need to add a route.
