Or you can modify the alias config file directly.
The file is in:

/etc/ifaliases

and follow the example in the file.

| Any body know how can i set up ip alias in OpenBSD?
| How can i setup interface de:0 for it?
| ifconfig de0:0 192.168.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

<man page>

SYNOPSIS

ifconfig interface [address_family]

Available operands for ifconfig:

alias     Establish an additional network address for this inter-face.
          This is sometimes useful when changing network numbers, and one
          wishes to accept packets addressed to the old interface.

</man page>

Hence:

ifconfig de0 alias 192.168.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
