Well, I must admit that(as Nathan stated earlier in this chain) it's
possible to do it. I just don't see it as a good practice. Isolation,
broadcasts, neighbors and routing protocol issues are common problems.

FreeBSD may not have any limitation regarding the number of subnets, but
most network vendors do have.
What's the purpose of having different subnets on the same ethernet segment?
I would only consider this solution if the layer-2 device doesn't support
vlans.
