I've done two things which together cover most of that.

One is ifalias_xxN_M, which provide alias addresses.

The other is ifsetup_pre_xxN and ifsetup_post_xxN, which are shell
commands to be run before and after configuring xxN.

But, yes, I agree that anything which can be done via /etc/ifconfig.*
should be doable via suitable rc.conf variable settings.  (This isn't
quite what you said, but it seems to me like the simplest precise
statement of what appears to me to be behind what you did say.)
