Eric, 
your naming of the file is depreciated.  It used to
be /etc/conf.d/net.eth0 that defined network configuration for
eth0, /etc/conf.d/net.eth1 that configured eth1, and so on.  Now, all
are stored in /etc/conf.d/net.  Here's how mine looks, if you want a
jumstart.  

  # This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.*
  # scripts in /etc/init.d.  To create a more complete configuration,
  # please review /etc/conf.d/net.example and save your configuration
  # in /etc/conf.d/net (this file :]!).
  config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
  dhcpcd_eth0="-t 10 -h pascal"

you can see therere that I set dhcp to configure the address,
resolv.conf, and the default route.  I specify a 10 second timeout and
a hostname for dhcpcd.
