Well, the way I do it is in rc.conf with this:

ifconfig_<interface>_alias<numnber>="inet <virtualiphere> 0xffffffff" 

ed0 is my primary interface.. but you can do it by hand, by typing: 

"ifconfig <interface> inet <virtualip> netmask 0xffffffff alias"

So for instance, I have in my rc.conf, the following:
ifconfig_ed0_alias0="inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xx netmask 0xffffffff"

Hope that helps,
