That's correct.
In particular, "cat /proc/net/dev" only shows eth0 and not eth0:1

You'd need to ask the Linux kernel people about that.
But I'd be surprised if it was possible.

There have been a couple of attempts to implement something of the
sort.   Have a look at 'agent/mibgroup/ipfwchains/README'
(unfortunately, we can't distribute this particular module with
the source code, due to licensing restrictions).

  This is certainly the most promising mechanism for retrieving this
information.
