Sure, just add alias stanzas to your /etc/network/interfaces file.
For example:
auto eth0 eth0:1
iface eth0 inet static
address 18.101.2.50
netmask 255.255.255.240
broadcast 18.101.2.63
gateway 18.101.2.49
iface eth0:1 inet static
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255

You'd have to look in its manual for details. Certainly, my router
box (a somewhat sad P100 running woody) has three IP addresses across
two interfaces, and works fine for almost everything. There's nothing
intrinsic in the concept of "router" that prevents you from having
multiple external addresses, forwarding some internal addresses
unchanged but NATting others, etc.
