LOAD() works like URL(), so, to pass args/vars to modal_content you could
write
m_cont = LOAD(f='*modal_content**.load*', *args=[ ], vars={ }*,
ajax=True, ajax_trap=True ) # see LOAD in web2py book
in modal_content controller there is nothing new, everything is as usual
def modal_content():
arg_0 = request.args(0)
a = request.vars.a
