You can use nameif(8) to change the names of the interfaces and cause
an interface with a specific mac address to be associated with a
specific eth0 or eth1.
You'll have to call nameif before ifupdown gets called though, so add
it to /etc/init.d/networking (or some other script that gets called
before networking.)[1]

1: /etc/init.d/networking should probably call nameif -s if
/etc/mactab exists by default.
