Well, that's very helpful...Can't believe I didn't see that when I was looking for it. I guess I just always do things the hard way.

/etc/rc.network is not the place to add aliases. Please look at the
examples in /etc/defaults/rc.conf
ifconfig_lo0_alias0="inet 127.0.0.254 netmask 0xffffffff" # Sample alias entry.
these should be placed into /etc/rc.conf
