Do you mean just additional addresses on an interface like
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/configtuning-virtual-hosts.html
this doesnt give the command line which would 
be
ifconfig fxp0 alias 1.2.3.4/24
if you wished to add a new address of 1.2.3.4 with a 24 bit netmask to 
your fxp0 interface.

otherwise if you mean something more like a cisco subinterface on a 
specific vlan, load the vlan module if needed, then
ifconfig fxp0.1 create
should create a subinterface like

fxp0.1: flags=8842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
         ether 00:50:8b:03:6d:00
         media: Ethernet 100baseTX <full-duplex>
         status: active
         vlan: 1 parent interface: fxp0
