As far as I know, BSD variants don't have the notion of *explicit* 'first/primary' or 'secondary' address. But if your main concern is to prefer particular addresses as the source address of outgoing packets, you'd be able to achieve the goal by configuring appropriate policy table entries (per RFC3484).
