Adding a device alias
I have a sparc 4 workstation that i installed a fast ethernet card
into. It works. The problem is that it uses a hme interface and the
application that i'm running only uses a le interface. Is there anyway
of making the hme interface be seen as le1.

This does not make sense. The "le", "hme", "eri", "qfe" stand for
different device drivers. Aliasing an hme device with an le name will
only create confusion for man and machine.
I wonder what application it is that even *looks* at the interface
type installed.
Maybe you just want to use hme0 as your primary interface? This is
easily accomplished by renaming /etc/hostname.le0 to /etc/
hostname.hme0
