DHCPD cannot use anything but a real interface - because it needs to 
receive and send broadcast packets which (almost) by definition 
cannot belong to an alias interface.

However, if you are wanting to give the client the alias address as 
the dhcp server address, check out server-identifier (IIRC) which 
will do this.
