Would these modules load themselves with no hardware present?


It's Linux.  It doesn't do anything by itself.  :)

They may be loaded because modutils was explicitly instructed to do so by your mod{ules,probe}.conf file. For example, in a modules.conf you may have an add above that's causing them to be loaded even though they're not needed. In a modprobe.conf, the line would be an "install ivtv" line. Remember, also, that some distros use additional hardware-specific configuration files (i.e. modules-ivtv.conf or something like that) which are appended to the main module configuration file.
