Yes, but you need to do it like this:

ifconfig_de0="inet x.x.x.x netmask y.y.y.y"
ifconfig_de0_alias0="inet z.z.z.z netmask a.a.a.a"
ifconfig_de0_alias1="inet b.b.b.b netmask c.c.c.c"

You can keep doing this infinately as far as I know.  I've put 254 addresses
onto one interface on some of my machines.

>network_interfaces="de0 lo0"
>ifconfig_de0="inet 203.93.131.1  netmask 255.255.255.0"
>ifconfig_de0="inet 209.92.121.1  netmask 255.255.255.0"
>ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"
>
>and also be able to define more than one gateways

As far as I know you still need can only have one defaultrouter, but you can
route certain blocks of ips through specific interfaces with the route
command.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this.
