PS, just saw on another mailing list about a tool called nameif.  Check it
out.

nameif  renames network interfaces based on mac addresses.
       When no arguments are given /etc/mactab is read. Each line
       of  it  contains  an  interface  name  and  a Ethernet MAC
       address. Comments are allowed starting with #.   Otherwise
       the  interfaces  specified  on  the  command line are pro-
       cessed.  nameif looks for the interface with the given MAC
       address and renames it to the name given.
