Yes, you can. As noted before in this thread, the contents of that
file consists of just ifconfig(1M) command line options, and that man
page correctly documents what's possible:
/sbin/ifconfig interface [address_family] [ address
[/prefix_length] [dest_address]] [ addif address
[...]
For both inet and inet6, the same information conveyed
by mask can be specified as a prefix_length attached to
the address parameter.
[...]
prefix_length
For the IPv4 and IPv6 families (inet and inet6), the
prefix_length is a number between 0 and the number of
bits in the address. For inet, the number of bits in the
address is 32; for inet6, the number of bits in the
address is 128. The prefix_length denotes the number of
leading set bits in the netmask.
