you can define your own function which will add aliases in the way you
require and execute it after network_start() finishes.

in your /etc/rc.conf.d/network:

----8><----

start_postcmd=3D"custom_aliases"

custom_aliases()
{
	echo -n "Adding custom interface aliases:"

        for int in lo0 $configured_interfaces; do
		n=3D1
		while :; do
			eval args=3D\$ifalias_$int\_$n
			if [ -n "$args" ]; then
				ifconfig $int $args alias
				n=3D$(($n+1))
			else
				break
			fi
		done
	done
}

----><8----

untested, but you get the idea.
