Yes, by executing the following commands:

ifconfig ep0 xxx.yyy.zzz alias netmask 0xffffffff
route add xxx.yyy.zzz localhost

Where you replace "ep0" with your network interface, and replace
"xxx.yyy.zzz" with the IP adress or hostname to assign.

If you want to remove the alias again, execute the same command but with
a dash ("-") infront of alias ("-alias"), and remember to remove the
route.
