Not on the kernel commandline as far as I know, but I had the same problem.
If they use different drivers, you can use modules.conf:
alias eth0 driver1
alias eth1 driver2
etc.
If they aren't, you can specific which MAC address to bind an interface to in
your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX files using
"HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx".
At least that works on my Mandrake boxes, I'm not sure how distribution
specific it might be.
