There isn't.

If udev doesn't care about kmod's man pages, then it's good to start
using libkmod. For the udev's use cases, libkmod is pretty complete.
It can be installed in parallel to module-init-tools too if distros
don't seem confident to make a step further and replace it.

So far Archlinux seems to be the first one. kmod is in their testing
repo and they helped us a lot to fix some bugs. Then I'd say kmod 4
will be ready enough for distros.
