NAME
ifconfig — configure network interface parameters
SYNOPSIS
ifconfig [-AaC] [interface] [address_family] [address [dest_address]]
[parameters]
...
and lower you have:
...
The following parameters may be set with ifconfig:
...
mtu value
Set the MTU for this device to the given value. Cloned routes
inherit this value as a default. For Ethernet devices which support
setting the MTU, a value greater than 1500 enables jumbo frames. The
hardmtu output from hwfeatures shows the maximum supported MTU.

So if you read the man page you should have the information you need.
Hope this help

The OP has managed to use ifconfig, he was asking how to preserve the
chosen settings over a reboot.
I think man hostname.if does the trick, though - there is a DHCP section
there that says:
A DHCP-configured network interface setup consists of
dhcp options
The above format has the following field values:
dhcp The literal string ``dhcp'' if the interface is to be
configured using DHCP. See dhclient(8) and
dhclient.conf(5) for more details.
options
Miscellaneous options to set on the interface, e.g.,
``media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex''. Valid options
for a particular interface type can be found in
ifconfig(8).
