As I was booting an old laptop I noticed a message coming up telling me that
the /etc/modprobe.d/irda file will be done away with in future versions.
Are these files now deprecated? Are we meant to fit everything in
/etc/conf.d/modules as per the OpenRC migration page?
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml
Most of the /etc/modprobe.d/* files were created at the time I installed
packages and include aliases for character device drivers and what not - of
course I have a couple which I set up myself. Not all of the info has been
transferred over to /etc/conf.d/modules; e.g.
alias char-major-161 ircomm-tty
Am I supposed to copy such stuff over to /etc/conf.d/modules myself, or am I
going to mess up the new way of configuring modules?

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.

Sorry to butt in and change the subject slightly:
Do you happen to know the exact syntax for that kind of rule or
whatever it's called.
I've been trying to auto load the `fuse' module using this:
modules=fuse
Which appears to be the proper syntax judging from the comments in
the stub file provided (/etc/conf.d/modules).
But `fuse' never gets auto loaded. There must be something more or
different it needs.

Your syntax is correct. I suspect a module loading issue (not a config issue).
The answer is likely in your dmesg or messages log
:-)
can you successfully "modprobe fuse" after first login?

Yes. No problems there at all
The only mention of fuse in dmesg looks like:
# dmesg|grep fuse
[ 19.364168] fuse init (API version 7.13)

Is fuse blacklisted?
