To stop these message (and not load any modules) put this in
/etc/modules.conf (or /etc/conf.modules - which ever is one your system):

alias net-pf-4      off     # don't auto-load ipx
alias net-pf-5      off     # don't auto-load ddp

If you do want them to load (which can happen everytime you run route,
ifconfig, netstatm etc) then

alias net-pf-4 ipx
alias net-pf-5 ddp
