you are. this should have been sent to freebsd-questions, but:
from ifconfig(8):
alias Establish an additional network address for this interface. This
is sometimes useful when changing network numbers, and one wishes
to accept packets addressed to the old interface. If the address
is on the same subnet as the first network address for this in-
terface, a netmask of 0xffffffff has to be specified.
examples:
# ifconfig fxp0 10.1.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
# ifconfig fxp0 10.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias # on the same subnet
# ifconfig fxp0 10.1.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias # not on the same subnet
