Forgot to cc:

For what purpose? If you simply want to do this for clarity of use at the
command line, you could create name aliases in your login profile. (ie:
alias xl0 eth0).

If this is not what you want it for, then someone else will have to
suggest a solution because I don't know if it can be done or not any other
way.
