When I use the functions below in my ether2000.c I get

ne2000reset: undefined: ioalloc in ne2000reset
ne2000reset: undefined: iofree in ne2000reset...

Perhaps you're not including fns.h in your ether2000.c?

; grep -n 'ioalloc|iofree' *.h
fns.h:57: #define ioalloc(addr, len, align, name) (addr)
fns.h:58: #define iofree(addr)

(This is in /sys/src/boot/pc, right?)

I've got fns.h in my copy.

It's apparently not a macro on my system though, and the definition
appears to be in /sys/src/9/pc/devarch.c

Parallels, so far in beta, doesn't let me middle click anything with
my current trackball, nor does it have a '|' key. It's really hard to
do any amount of useful searching or editing as a result... especially
without networking support, where I could just drawterm.

Those macros are in /sys/src/boot/pc/fns.h, not /sys/src/9/pc/fns.h.

I just opened up /sys/src/boot/pc/fns.h and I see no "ioalloc"
prototype or macro.

ialloc is there... but no ioalloc.

Do I need to get a new CD image of Plan 9? Has this stuff been
updated recently?
