    I am porting a system built on the top of Unix to Plan9.
    Because the system use ioctle to get network address, network configuration,
    I find that plan9 doesn't support SIOCGIFADDR and SIOCFIFCONF.
    Could you please tell me how I can modify the plan9 to make it support them.

i think you'll find the idea is not to modify plan 9, but your system.
getting rid of ioctl was a feature.
