Yes, but not if you have more than two addresses on an interface. I
added code to 3.1's rc.d/network to handle ifalias_xxN_1,
ifalias_xxN_2, etc; if anyone wants it I'll be happy to share, but the
comment
# Note that $ifaliases_xxN works only with certain configurations and
# considered not recommended. Use /etc/ifconfig.xxN if possible.
leads me to think NetBSD does not want it, so I haven't gone through
yet another round of trying to fix something only to be unequivocally
told it's not broken.
