...from the `man' page for modules.conf...
ALTERNATIVE CONFIGURATION FILE
For historical reasons, if /etc/modules.conf does not exist,
modutils will read /etc/conf.modules instead. However the use of
this historical name is deprecated and it should be replaced with
/etc/modules.conf. This version of modutils issues a warning
message if /etc/conf.modules exists, later versions will give an
error message and refuse to load modules.

You can create it as a zero length file by simply...
cp /dev/null /etc/modules
