They might not necessarily show up in the configuration until you actually
define them... it depends on how they were brought into the virtual-chassis.
However if your Virtual-Chassis is set up correctly, they should still show
up when you do a 'show interfaces terse'.  The FPC portion of the interface
naming convention is what is used to identify the interfaces on a given
virtual-chassis member.  In other words, interfaces on member-id 2 will show
up in 'show interfaces terse' as ge-2/x/x or xe-2/x/x.

You can verify that your virtual-chassis is working correctly by doing a
'show virtual-chassis status', or even a 'show chassis hardware' will give
you a clue as to whether or not all the members are shown in the
virtual-chassis.

HTHs.
