If I understand Apache’s Server Aliases correctly, then what you’re looking for is a Virtual Directory. In IIS manager, right-click a website or folder and select “Add Virtual Directory.” You can then add a directory to the website with a specific alias (which will form part of the Url) and physical path (which can be anywhere on disk, not necessarily under the root folder of the website).
EDIT: suspecting that I’ve confused Apache’s “alias” and “server alias” functions: you may be looking for an IIS site’s “Bindings”, which allow multiple domain names to be mapped to specific web applications.
