When the version of udev came out that was said to require a init thingy
or /usr on /, that is when I switched to eudev.  I haven't used the
newer versions of udev.   I do have this in my kernel config tho:

root@fireball / # cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep -i CONFIG_DEVTMPFS
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y
root@fireball / #

It may be best to search the archives for eudev and my email addy.  I
don't recall it being anything difficult.  The issues I did run into has
since been fixed.  As I posted earlier, I installed the very early
version. 

From my understanding now tho, it should be as easy as unmerge udev and
emerge eudev.  I'd look at the messages after it emerges tho, just in
case.
