FWIW, the double entries are what sysinstall creates.  I just loaded 
a new box yesterday and was wondering about that myself.

Here's what it crated:

# uname -a
FreeBSD newb.xxiii.com 6.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0
# cat /etc/hosts
::1             localhost.xxiii.com localhost
127.0.0.1       localhost.xxiii.com localhost
192.168.0.14    newb.xxiii.com newb
192.168.0.14    newb.xxiii.com.

So what' with the doubles. anyway?
