I'd suggest to just handle /etc/ifconfig.ifX and ifconfig_ifX identical,
basically doing:

if [ -n "$ifconfig_ifX" ]; then
        echo $ifconfig_ifX
else
        cat /etc/ifconfig_ifX
fi | while read arg; do
        ...
done

like the current loop. You can then set
ifconfig_ifX="192.168.1.1
192.168.2.1 alias
192.168.3.1 alias"
