Have you checked out net-misc/netprofiles-ims? I haven't, but it looks
promising (it's only keyworded for x86 currently, dunno why, dunno
what platform you're running).

I've run a couple of tests now, using different /etc/conf.d/net.runlevel
files. Switching runlevels on the fly doesn't cause the new configs to be
loaded, but restarting the network afterwards does. I expect this is fine
for your needs, as you are unlikely to have the network running while
between locations. Even if you are, you only need to do
rc newrunlevel
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart
to switch over. The VPN and other stuff you need to run is easily handled
in the postup() function of the relevant net.runlevel file.

If this were an actual tagline, it would be funny.
