This route is not changed by adding it, notice in the "Flag" column that
it has "NL". This means it is a local route, it was created by the
Portmaster when the interface is brought up according to the netmask.

A /26 netmask is 255.255.255.192

'set netmask 255.255.255.192'

This command takes affect immediately for Portmasters in my expirence, no
reboot needed.
