net-tools is the old networking tools package that is in the process of being deprecated by sys-apps/iproute2. We still need, and require these tools to set hostname. see the iproute2 page for a list of commands, and their replacements.
hostname- show or set the system's host namednsdomainname- show the system's DNS domain namedomainname- show or set the system's NIS/YP domain namenisdomainname- show or set system's NIS/YP domain nameypdomainname- show or set the system's NIS/YP domain name
under funtoo, /etc/conf.d/hostname controls the system hostname. /etc/conf.d/net is where your domain name is defined. /etc/hosts is where static routes and loopbacks are defined.
