That's a supported configuration with network_interfaces=AUTO. I use it
on the server I'm writing this from.
For instance you can do something like:
ifconfig_fxp0_name="iatel"
ifconfig_iatel="up"
ipv4_addrs_iatel="#.#.#.#/26"
ifconfig_em0_name="priv"
ifconfig_priv="inet 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0"
The use of ipv4_addrs_iatel is mostly just testing the feature.
