[root@pc root]# lsmod | grep usb
usb-uhci               21508   0  (unused)
usbcore                33184   0  [usb-uhci]
[root@pc root]# mount -t usbdevfs none /mnt/temp2
mount: fs type usbdevfs not supported by kernel
[root@pc root]# grep usbdevfs /proc/filesystems 
[root@pc root]# 

Apparently usbcore.o will load without usbdevfs being available (if you
want to hang yourself, there's the rope).  Is there any other kernel
option (besides 'Preliminary USB Filesystem') that might control
usbdevfs's presence?

I use W2K, but that's inside VMware, so it doesn't count.
