Looking at /etc/udev/rules.d/ I'd found 70-persistent-net.rules with
the lines below:
# PCI Device: 0x10ec:0x8029 (ne2k-pci)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:c0:df:ea:d6:49",
NAME="eth1"
# PCI Device: 0x10b7:0x9200 (3c59x)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:04:75:c5:5c:ce",
NAME="eth2"
The interface with name eth1 match the mac address with the installed
one, but interface eth2 does not, probably 'cause it might be the old
card mac adress.
Well, now I know that in some way udev add these links automatically I
do thing that I can just change the mac address putting the right one,
letting the file appear like below:
# PCI Device: (via-rhine)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:50:8D:84:A8:4F",
NAME="eth0"
# PCI Device: 0x10ec:0x8029 (ne2k-pci)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:C0:DF:EA:D6:49",
NAME="eth1"
# PCI Device: 0x10b7:0x9200 (3c59x)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:50:04:6E:9C:AB",
NAME="eth2"
Well, that's OK, it do solve my problem but isn't it supposed to be an
automatically process? Isn't it an UDEV or Gentoo task to deal with?

I'm pretty sure you can use UDEV rules to set it, something like this:
# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules
BUS=="pci", KERNEL=="eth[0-9]", SYSFS{address}=="00:2a:9a:d4:65:32", \
NAME="lan0"
BUS=="pci", KERNEL=="eth[0-9]", SYSFS{address}=="00:a0:5d:3e:ae:54", \
NAME="lan1"
Where SYSFS{address} is the MAC address of the card.
