[~]$ sudo ifconfig en0 inet 192.168.0.1 alias
will create that ip address on the en0 device, which can be accessed from your LAN if your other machines are set up to look for it, and if you've enabled "internet sharing" with natd and ipfw (along with some other useful firewall rules, naturally).
Setting up your firewall/NAT rules manually can be instructive, if somewhat mind-numbing.
There's an interesting shareware program for OS X called Firewalker X2 that works nicely with ipfw to create a very solid firewall. <http://www.pliris-soft.com/>
