Sorry to follow up my own message. I got it working. I forgot that
there are docs in linux/Documentation ;-). The doc there said that it
wouldn't work with modprobe, but it did. Just add

options cdu31a cdu31a_port=0xXXX cdu31a_irq=XX

to /etc/conf.modules

The weird part is this. When I do that with 0x340 and irq 10, I get a
message that:

Feb 29 14:21:18 woodruffn239 kernel: Unable to grab IRQ10 for the CDU31A driver

However, watching /proc/interrupts shows that the cdu31a driver is using
irq 10. Strange.

Anyway,
sorry about the confusion on my part ;-).
