My /etc/modules.conf say this at the top:
### This file is automatically generated by update-modules"
#
# Please do not edit this file directly. If you want to change or add
# anything please take a look at the files in /etc/modutils and read
# the manpage for update-modules.
#
So, if I add a bunch of "alias .... off" to that file will I break
something? Also, if there is an update (kernel, modutils, etc) will I
loose those settings and have to recreate them?

Perhaps "modconf" (apt-cache search modconf) could help
