Probably you need one or both of the following in /etc/conf.d/rc:

RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!net.eth0"
RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING="lo"

BUT, what you probably really want is to emerge ifplugd.  With this
installed, gentoo will detect when there is a cable connected and
startup networking automagically when a cable is inserted.  It should
also avoid timing out on dhcp requests when no link is detected.
