Add RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!net.*" to /etc/conf.d/rc to stop the interfaces
coming up at boot. Use udev rules to have the naming as you want. For
example, I use
KERNEL=="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="00:1a:23:3c:76:26", NAME:="eth0"
KERNEL=="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="00:2d:94:ef:f2:c0", NAME:="eth1"
KERNEL=="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="00:3c:99:ff:fe:3c:76:26", NAME:="eth2"
To make my wired interface eth0, wireless eth1 and firewire eth2. The
address strings are the MAC addresses of the interfaces.
Alternatively, you can get rid of the firewire interface altogether by
unsetting CONFIG_IEEE1394_ETH1394 in your kernel config
