Actually, modprobe can be used without /etc/modules.conf, but you won't be able 
to load by device node name (/dev/blah).  If you specify a module name, modprobe 
will use modules.dep (generated by running depmod -a) to load alll modules it 
depends on before loading the module specified (differs from insmod here).
