True only if your options for ifconfig in rc.conf would clear or
override whatever it is you put in /etc/start_if_em0. As long as its
something that can be done with multiple ifconfigs then all is fine.

For example this works fine in /etc/start_if.xl0:

#!/bin/sh
ifconfig xl0 lladdr 00:01:23:45:67:89

with this in rc.conf:
ifconfig_xl0="DHCP"
