By quickly reading [1] and [2] I see references to networkmanager (I've always stayed away from it) and netifrc. But if netcfg is available that might be the option for someone so familiar with netcfg/netctl profiles. But most importantly, if netcfg is available, is it actually maintained? If available but without being maintained it might a bad idea actually to even install it...
You can install netcfg from the AUR and use it (I do). I too dislike networkmanager and opted for connman in our community ISOs, which is simpler and elegant. You can also use OpenRC itself for creating network profiles (they call it "stacked runlevels"[0]).
