If you are using OpenRC, there are some examples about networking. If
you are still using baselayout 1, there are also some additional
examples about vlan and stuff including which tools they require.

The example script for OpenRC is found here:

http://roy.marples.name/projects/openrc/browser/conf.d/network.Linux

including "Create VLAN"...

you will find a copy in /usr/share/doc/openrc-xx/ on your box.

Baselayout 1 howerever has a different approach, which you will find in
/etc/conf.d/net.example...

Sincerly
Nicolas
