Depends on what info you are looking for. There is no one command that lists everything that ipconfig does.
You might look at ifconfig for info about interfaces, and uname -a or hostname for the hostname. Nameserver info is in /etc/resolv.conf on most Unixes (including OS X) On some Unixes you can run nslookup and use the "server" command by itself to get info about your current resolver. That doesn't seem to work on OS X though. You can just cat the file.
