I don't know about modconf as a separate program, but I find my sound section in the sound file in /etc/modutils/ ( if there is no sound file, just create one). You update /etc/modules.conf from what's in /etc/modutils by running update_modules, which comes from package modutils. modules mentioned /etc/modules.conf are automatically loaded by the kernel when needed. You need kernel option CONFIG_KMOD=y for automatic loading.
