to do these things, you'll need to first enable the root user in the netinfo control panel, or become farmilliar with the command 'sudo'.
Logged in as an admin-level user, launch the application located in /Applications/Utilities called Terminal (not to be confused with 'Console').
once in, type ifconfig -a
you will see all your network interfaces come up.
here's how to add an alias to a given interface.
I'll use en1 for example:
now ifconfig -a will show two ip addresses for en1.
As for DHCP, you need what is refered to as 'dhcpd'. I've heard of people getting the bsd dhcpd to compile on osx. Maybe someone will post a link here to a how to - I've never done it.
don't dispair - I've gotten routers booting off my mac with bootpd and tftpd - I know it can be done!

you inspired me, and I have figured it out! expect a startup script within a few days to start the dhcpd when you turn on the computer.
btw, I have it running and it works on my network!
