OK, perhaps this can be made even simpler. Put this into your /etc/rc.conf
and be done:
# a hack to ease the configuration of machines with only one NIC
_single=`ifconfig -l link`
eval ifconfig_${_single}="inet 192.168.254.193 netmask 255.255.255.0"
eval ifconfig_${_single}_alias0="inet 192.168.254.199 netmask 255.255.255.0"
Maybe a bit ugly, though. ;-) In case there's more than one interface
you'll get "ifconfig_xxN not found", where xxN is your first link, so
it should be "safe".
