Can you provide a diagram of the network layout, and where the
configuration needs to go?  Because if it's just the opnsense box that
needs the IP addresses, adding them as an alias to bce is enough to
make it work.

If you're trying to do something else, like have boxes behind the
opnsense box have those IP addresses, then:
route add $IP_NO_IN_SUBNET $IP_OF_BOX_WITH_IP_NO_IN_SUBNET

would just work.

I just noticed the 10.0.0.1 IP on lo0, and that's a bit odd to have...
