I switched when it was still fresh and it wasn't to bad from what I recall. Just emerge -C udev and emerge eudev. I think I masked udev to make sure it didn't get pulled in any more by something else but other than that, it just worked. I would recommend going to boot runlevel and restarting udev after the switch tho, just to be sure it restarts OK. Oh, the init script is still called udev not eudev.
