AFAIK that assignment is dependent on the order of initialisation of the
ethernet drivers; with the SLES kernel, these drivers are built as modules,
so you can change the assignment by changing the kernel module load order.
This is all under the assumption that all your NICs need distinct drivers. I
don't know how things are handled when two or more NICs require the same
driver; I'd guess in PCI bus ID or IRQ order, though I can imagine that it'd
depend on the specific driver.
