I wonder if you really need this after all. vconfig is deprecated, and
even the current squueze RC1 busybox seems to understand
# ip link add link eth0 name vlan10 type vlan id 10
although the operation itself fails. On my squeeze desktop,
# modprobe dummy
# ip link add link dummy0 name vlan type vlan id 10
works all right, and even
# busybox ip link del vlan
does its deed, but
# busybox ip link add link dummy0 name vlan type vlan id 10
ip: RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
So I guess the support is there in busybox right now, but unfortunately
it's broken by some bug.
