If you are talking about ``aliased'' addresses, such as used when creating virtual WWW servers, FreeBSD 2.1-RELEASE can support as many aliases as you can fit in memory. In theory all 4294967296 (i.e. 2^32) IP v4 addresses could be supported on one interface. I believe that at least one person has over 200 aliased addresses on his machine. Certainly in testing a full class C address space (if not more, I can't remember how far the testing went) has been aliased onto a single interface without problem.
