Somebody might have a hint for a single ifconfig command, but you can
also create the file /etc/start_if.rl0 with any additional commands to
be run by rc. This will get sourced automatically by rc _before_ the
value of ifconfig_rl0 in /etc/rc.conf. 

For example, in /etc/rc.conf, leave

| ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.2.12 netmask 255.255.255.0"

And in /etc/start_if.rl0, add:

| ifconfig rl0 ether 00:02:4f:0a:ce:f3
