The line should go in a new file under /etc/modprobe.d/ -- if you modify an existing file in that directory, you'll have to edit it whenever module-init-tools is upgraded. You needn't run /sbin/update-modules with 2.6. /etc/modprobe.conf is optional, and modprobe reads each file in /etc/modprobe.d/ (except for those in the arch/ directory). FWIW, with Debian and a 2.4 kernel, /etc/modutils/ contains similar files to /etc/modprobe.d/. The main difference is that you have to run /sbin/update-modules to generate /etc/modules.conf so that your changes take effect.
