If you want to run userspace programs using module trickery, try finding some docs on the module system and /etc/modules.conf My /etc/conf.modules has this: post-install sb /sbin/modprobe "-k" "adlib_card" meaning the userspace program "modprobe" will run whenever the sb module is loaded. Maybe you can use this.
