Yes, you can do it the way you asked. I guess the real question is: what are you trying to accomplish? The answer to that may be radically different from what you're trying to do.

Thanks, Mark. Fair question. The OSA-E card has one port connected to a switch to the intranet and a given IP address is assocated with the network interface. A group of users would like to access the lpar but with an IP address that reflects their subnet. So I thought one way be be to define another eth_ and associate their IP address scheme with it.
That won't work.
Your OSA is still only going to be hooked up to one physical port on the switch.
Now, you *could* do this with VLAN tagging on the OSA interfaces, I believe, assuming that your switch knows about the right VLANs. And I'm not sure about this, but I think you could do it with VSWITCH and VLAN tagging.
