Ah.  Ok, now I am understanding your scenario.

I thought that using 'network_interfaces' with anything other than
"AUTO"  was in the process of being depreciated ?

rc.conf man page:

network_interfaces
                 (str) Set to the list of network interfaces to configure on
                 this host or ``AUTO'' (the default) for all current inter-
                 faces.  Setting the network_interfaces variable to anything
                 other than the default is deprecated.  Interfaces that the
                 administrator wishes to store configuration for, but not
                 start at boot should be configured with the ``NOAUTO'' key-
                 word in their ifconfig_<interface> variables as described
                 below.

                 An ifconfig_<interface> variable is also assumed to exist for
                 each value of interface.  When an interface name contains any
                 of the characters ``.-/+'' they are translated to ``_''
                 before lookup.  The variable can contain arguments to
                 ifconfig(8), as well as special case-insensitive keywords
                 described below.  Such keywords are removed before passing
                 the value to ifconfig(8) while the order of the other argu-
                 ments is preserved.
