No. If you have two ports that should carry untagged frames and form single vlan
and this vlan has no other ports carrying tagged frames, then
this vlan effectively has *no* tag number, or better say, its tag number does not matter.

In that case, do not create any vlan interfaces for the vlan at all but bridge ports directly:

ifconfig bridge10 addm igb5 addm igb6
