I switched a good while back so this may be a bit fuzzy.  I'm running
eudev-2.1.1 here with no issues.  I don't have anything in my USE flag
about udev and everything I plug in is managed just fine.  I'm pretty
sure your commands above is all I used as well.  I don't recall running
anything outside the norm. 

Basically, after you switch, the OS doesn't see anything different.  On
mine here, even the init scripts have the same name.  I was sort of
expecting them to change from udev to eudev but it didn't. 

If something is pulling udev back in, may want to add the -t option to
emerge and see what is pulling it in. 

Hope that helps.
