You need to create them explicitly now with 'ifconfig create'.  The
benefit is that you no longer have to prespecify the number of gif
interfaces at kernel compile-time, they can be created on the fly.
Just create them with the appropriate ifconfig_gif<#> entry in
rc.conf.

This is noted in the release notes and UPDATING (you do read UPDATING,
don't you? ;-).
