Take a look at this note in sysconfig:

# Alternatively, /etc/start_if.${network_interface} is run if it exists.
# This script can be used as an alternative to the ifconfig_<xxx> lines.

Stick the original ifconfig and your above lines into /etc/startif.ep0 and
you should be good.

It's probably run from a rc.d script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d.
