/etc/modules is read in from the /etc/init.d/modutils script. 
According to the links in my /etc/rcS.d this order is already setup.
The /etc/rcS.d scripts are run once per boot before any runlevels are
started, see /usr/doc/sysvinit/README.runlevels.gz for more info.

% ls -1 /etc/rcS.d/*isapnp /etc/rcS.d/*modutils /etc/rcS.d/*network
/etc/rcS.d/S15isapnp
/etc/rcS.d/S20modutils
/etc/rcS.d/S40network

So isapnp is run, then modutils, then network.
