One way would be to use two host statements with the same fixed
address. Note that the label in the host statement needs to be unique.

# lan
host foo {
  hardware ethernet so:me:ma:ca:dd:re;
  fixed-address foo;
}
# wireless
host foo-wl {
  hardware ethernet di:ff:ma:ca:dd:re;
  fixed-address foo;
}
