Can I use secondary IP addresses and then BGP with these 
addresses, this would 
be a form of "security by obscurity" but providing you can 
keep the info a 
secret thats surely going to do it?

It will depend on your architecture in large part.  In some cases there is
absolutely no need to route the prefixes that you use for your BGP sessions
beyond the devices doing BGP.  This can reduce your exposure to MD5 related
cpu churn etc...
