Have a look at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/parport.txt. The following works
for me.
/etc/conf.modules:
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7
nestor:/usr/src/linux$ lsmod
Module Size Used by
parport_pc 5048 1 (autoclean)
lp 4280 1 (autoclean)
parport 6444 1 (autoclean) [parport_pc lp]
