I create 3 directories in /etc/runlevels as home, work1, work2 or whatever name takes your fancy. do a #rc-update add dhcpd work1 #rc-update add pptp home etc. I think you get the idea. use the command line with #rc work1 to start the work1 stuff and your done. If you use a script like /etc/init.d/net.eth0 more that once you probably need to copy it can many locations and make each one a bit different. Going off Williams suggestion you could alter /sbin/rc to read the /proc/cmdline and run the appropriate runlevel (work1,home,work2 etc.). I haven't done this but its pretty simple. Gentoo rocks.
