It seems today is not my best, I found the simplest solution at last...

All I need is just one line in rc.conf:

cloned_interfaces="em0.2 em1.16 em1.28"

And one line in loader.conf:

if_vlan_load=YES

That's it. I have no if_vlan in kernel config, this was the reason I can't 
find this solution, which really works like I expected.

One should not mix too much old and new features I think.
