When a barbarian is knocked below 0 hp, does his rage end [does he lose the str and con]?

Only if your rage ends.

That is the answer.

Going unconscious doesn't make rage end so that alone won't make you lose Str/Con bonuses.
You could be unconscious for a few rounds while raging (run out of rage due to rounds) and after rage ended be seriously wounded because lost additional hps from rage.

I'll expand a bit on Nephilite's answer.

A barbarian rage (or anyone's rage, if they have been affected by a rage spell or effect) can only end in two ways. Either the character wills it to end, or he is forced to end it due to running out of time (that is, his constitution modifier plus three rounds have already passed).

Becoming unconscious does not end his rage.
