Not today, since none of them get used in the paths that do this. In general the network code doesn't care what you call an interface. There are a few corners where it does, but nothing that isn't specific to a certain set of drivers. Additionally, it is necessary to not have members called if_name and if_unit if we have if_xname as the primary driver name. It's also worth noting that one of the things I want to do is break the driver+unit mapping for certain types of pseudo devices. Specifically vlan devices should be allocatable by creating an interface with a name like fxp0.100 so while you could synthesize a unit number, it wouldn't have any useful meaning.
I wonder how that works for vlans over bridges...
