From "man ifconfig":

LOGICAL INTERFACES
Solaris TCP/IP allows multiple logical interfaces to be
associated with a physical network interface. This allows a
single machine to be assigned multiple IP addresses, even
though it may have only one network interface. Physical
network interfaces have names of the form driver-name
physical-unit-number, while logical interfaces have names of
the form driver-name physical-unit-number:logical-unit-
number.

you can try

#ifconfig hme0:1 inet ip_address

you can define multiple addresses using interface:1 , 2 , 3 so on.

You can check ethernet FAQ at my web site for more info.
