I don't know of a program to do this. You might try "aptitude search '~dmodule'" or "aptitude search proc".

Look at the output from dmesg to do a manual search:
$ dmesg

A copy of the dmesg information is also saved to the file /var/log/dmesg upon boot.

Using dmesg, you might be able to find out what device nodes are activated by a module. Then using lsof, you can probably find out what programs are using those device nodes.
