Looking here at the freebsd man page for the gif device, it indicates
that the gifconfig command is required for 4.10-based m0n0's and
ifconfig for 5.x based systems.
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=gif&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+4.10-RELEASE&format=html

I was able to:
ifconfig gif0 create
ifconfig gif0 tunnel src.IP.address.A dst.IP.address.B

and get this from ifconfig afterwards....
gif0: flags=8050<POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1280
	tunnel inet 10.10.10.254 --> 10.10.10.181

ymmv...
