The following code should do it.
You just have to provide the correct interface name.

  struct sockaddr_in addr;                                                                                                                                   
  rtems_bsdnet_ifconfig("eth0", SIOCGIFADDR, &addr);                                                                                                         

The IP address is then in addr.sin_addr.s_addr .
