Is it possible to use this method through rc or must I stick with creating

have yielded no success.

Eg.
rc.conf:
ifconfig_em0="up vlanhwtag vlanmtu"
ifconfig_em0.100="inet 10.1.2.3/24"

Periods aren't valid in shell variable names so this won't work. Hense
the error message below.

goliath# /etc/rc.d/netif start
/etc/rc.conf: ifconfig_em0.100=inet 10.1.2.3/24: not found
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
....

and the interface is never created, with or without:
cloned_interfaces="em0.100"

The cloned_interfaces entry is absolutly required.
Fair enough.

I noticed you made a way to use the automatic vlan method in rev 1.169 of network.subr. Are there any plans to MFC this to RELENG_6? It's a useful ability to have and makes creating vlans at startup much simpler and cleaner.
