You don't need an ATM address (E.164) to set up a PVC.
To configure a PVC between 128.252.200.1 and 128.252.200.2 with a VCI
value of 201 (0xc9):
 en0)
	# ifconfig en0 128.252.200.1 netmask 0xffffff00 up
	#  route add -iface 128.252.200.2 -link en0:3.0.0.c9
 pvc0)
	# pvcsif en0
	# ifconfig pvc0 128.252.200.1 128.252.200.2 netmask 0xffffff00
	# pvctxctl pvc0 201 -p 0

en0 doesn't handle multicast but pvc0 does.
