Ignoring things one does not understand is not a solution I would
recommend to others...
Have a look at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/modules.txt - it expains
both what those modules are good for, but also how to make the
messages go away:
...
To use kerneld with the least amount of "hassle", you need modprobe from
a release that can be considered "recent" w.r.t. your kernel, and also
a configuration file for modprobe ("/etc/conf.modules").
...
alias net-pf-4 off # if you don't use the ipx module
alias net-pf-5 off # if you don't use the appletalk module
