If it wasn't for the patch I'm working on, I'd answer yes.  Howerver,
I've got a patch that I need to submit for review and then commit that
will let you do this is a one shot with the clone code.  It works by
doing a major overhaul of the device cloning support so you can create
interfaces of the form <etherif>.<vlantag> and get an vlan interface
with the appropriate parent and tag.  Using your example that would mean
you the follwing in your /etc/rc.conf:

cloned_interfaces="xl0.2"
