Yep.  Try it like this:

ifconfig_re0=3D"inet 208.70.104.210 netmask 255.255.255.192"
ifconfig_re0_alias0=3D"inet 208.70.104.211 netmask 255.255.255.255"
ipv6_ifconfig_re0=3D"2607:f118::b6 prefixlen 64"
ipv6_ifconfig_re0_alias0=3D"2607:f118::b7 prefixlen 64"

or, even better, like this:

ipv4_addrs_re0=3D"208.70.104.210/26 208.70.104.211/26"
ipv6_addrs_re0=3D"2607:f118::b6/64 2607:f118::b7/64"

You can make the 2nd address in each case a /32 or /128 if you want,
but the requirement for having 2nd and subsequent addresses from a
netblock have a different netmask than the initial address on that NIC
has gone away.

	Cheers,
