you may tryout qemu (with kqemu kernel module for accelaration on host system http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/ ) and vde (http://vde.sourceforge.net/) as "virtual" ethernet. I have a setup to test but only use 2 machines with 2 nics (and 2 virtual switches/hubs). With vde, you can also use "virtual cables" over ssh if one machine isn't enough for testing...qemu seems to have a maximum number of 8 network cards, so that should may be enough... You don't need to change anything to run bering-uclibc (or another leaf) inside qemu... besides the network card driver.
