In /etc/rc.conf you can use the following:

ifconfig_dc0_alias0="inet 208.224.94.2 netmask 255.255.255.192"
ifconfig_dc0_alias1="inet 208.224.94.3 netmask 255.255.255.192"
ifconfig_dc0_alias2="inet 208.224.94.4 netmask 255.255.255.192"

etc...

The more appropriate place imho, would be in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/01_network.sh
with the following type of setup:

#!/bin/sh
#
# set up interface aliases. note that ns aliases MUST go in /etc/rc.conf
# rather than in this file, or named won't work at startup
#

/sbin/ifconfig dc0 alias 208.224.94.2 netmask 255.255.255.192	# user2
/sbin/ifconfig dc0 alias 208.224.94.3 netmask 255.255.255.192	# user3
/sbin/ifconfig dc0 alias 208.224.94.4 netmask 255.255.255.192	# user4
