It sure is.  I do this via options in /etc/modules.conf.  However, the
syntax is different to different drives (really annoying!!!).  Here's
the snippet from mine:

alias eth0 tlan
options tlan speed=100 duplex=2
alias eth1 3c59x
options 3c59x full_duplex=1

If you want to know what the particular syntax is for your brand of
Ethernet controller, you might need to install the kernel sources and
dig in there.
