Well, somewhat. I haven't tried that in quite a while, but I did

an atari 2600 chess cartridge and a Radio shack dedicated pocket

To communicate with a DHCP server you will need a DHCP client such as
dhcpcd or dhcp-client. As for setting up an alias IP via DHCP, I am not
sure if you can (I would tend doubt it). If I were to hazard a guess
though, dhcpcd -d eth0:1
Good luck,
