from /etc/rc.d/network:

                if checkyesno auto_ifconfig; then
                        tmp=`ifconfig -l`
                        for cloner in `ifconfig -C 2>/dev/null`; do
                                for int in /etc/ifconfig.${cloner}[0-9]*; do
                                        [ ! -f $int ] && break
                                        tmp="$tmp ${int##*.}"
                                done
                        done
                else
                        tmp="$net_interfaces"
                fi

so all you need are the ifconfig.whatever files for the cloners.  :)
