AFAIK, this is only for module auto-loading.  Stuff like configuration 
options of modules, blacklisting, etc, still go in /etc/modprobe.d/. 
But all files placed there, need to have a ".conf" suffix.  And packages 
still place files there.  It's not deprecated.  For example, run this:

   equery belongs /etc/modprobe.d/*

and you'll get a list of packages that actually placed files there.  If 
you have modules you wish to get loaded automatically on boot, only then 
put entries for them in /etc/conf.d/modules.
