there categorically *is* a way, set up /32 address on a lo interface, and use that as local-address in bgpd.conf, making sure the other hosts have a way to reach it (e.g. announce the /32 into OSPF). quite useful for i-bgp sessions and it's pretty much the same way you'd do this elsewhere. there is nothing particularly special about the lo* interfaces, just configure them as normal (hostname.lo0, hostname.lo1, etc).
