If you never want net.eth0 to start, you could of course simply
delete /etc/init.d/net.eth0.

Another way to make net.eth0 NOT start is to modify /etc/conf.d/rc:

,----[ /etc/conf.d/rc ]
| # Some people want a finer grain over hotplug/coldplug. RC_PLUG_SERVICES is a
| # list of services that are matched in order, either allowing or not. By
| # default we allow services through as RC_COLDPLUG/RC_HOTPLUG has to be yes
| # anyway.
| # Example - RC_PLUG_SERVICES="net.wlan !net.*"
| # This allows net.wlan and any service not matching net.* to be plugged.
| 
| RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!net.eth*"
`----

That's what I do at home as well. Works very fine.
