Yes, if you are loading the ethernet drivers as modules, you can change them
around however you want. Note that you will want to list the devices in
order, such that "eth0" comes before "eth1", otherwise I'm not really sure if
all drivers in the kernel will agree to the plan.
You will also want to swap around the "ifcfg-eth0" and "ifcfg-eth1" files in
the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ directory, so that the network
configuration follows the driver swap. Then, as you noted, you will need to
update any firewall rules or other software that references the ethernet
devices directly.
