there a way to have entries in these files be conditional on the

It looks like you can. /etc/modules.conf is automatically generated, so don't edit it directly. Instead, you manipulate the files in /etc/modutils. In my current /etc/modutils/aliases file I see:

# IDE modules changed names in 2.4.22
if KERNEL_VER >= 2.4.22
   alias ide-mod ide-core
   alias ide-probe-mod ide-detect
endif

HTH!
