Sure, that'd be fine. :)

cobbler system edit --name=foo --interface=1 --bond-group=asdf
--bond-opts="a=1,b=2 ..." --hotplug=no --alias=slave0 
--ip-alias="192.168.1.53/24,192.168.1.54/24"
this would set up the bond (resulting interface name foo) and rename 
this slave interface to slave0. It would also add aliases on the interface.

cobbler system edit --name=foo --interface=2 --bond-group=asdf 
--hotplug=no --alias=slave1
rename the interface to slave1 and add it to bond foo

Something like this?

I think we should go the easy way. When we get things working we can 
decide if it should be moved some place else.
