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.
