My rc.conf is something like this:

#
# For now, force ath0 to use the same MAC address as xl0.
# This works around a bug where lagg is unable to set the
# MAC address of the underlying wlan0 interface.
#
ifconfig_ath0="ether 01:02:03:04:05:06"
wlans_ath0=wlan0
ifconfig_wlan0="ssid SSID_FOO_NAME WPA"

ifconfig_xl0="up"
closed_interfaces="lagg0"
ifconfig_lagg0="laggproto failover laggport xl0 laggport wlan0"
ifconfig_lagg0_alias0="inet 10.0.0.4 netmask 0xffffff00"

I use aliasX to add the address and netmask.
