Have you taken a look at /etc/conf.d/net.example around line 700?

To quote:

##############################################################################
# ADVANCED CONFIGURATION

# Four functions can be defined which will be called surrounding the
# start/stop operations.  The functions are called with the interface
# name first so that one function can control multiple adapters. An extra
two
# functions can be defined when an interface fails to start or stop.
#
# The return values for the preup and predown functions should be 0
# (success) to indicate that configuration or deconfiguration of the



so just write yourself a preup function that sets the correct ethtool
setting on your adapter before brining it up.  This is very likely the
correct way of doing it in Gentoo.

preup() {
 if ethtool -s ${IFACE} duplex full; then
  return 0
 fi
 ewarn "Couldn't set ${IFACE} to full duplex"
 return 1
}
