I have the same issue with my Macbook Pro 5.1
when booting in EFI mode using the nvidia 9400 card im unable to load applesmc.
when booting in compatiblity mode (and hence only having access to the nvidia 
9600 card) 
the module is loaded properly


lspci |grep VGA

(rev a1)
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C79 [GeForce 9400M] (rev 
b1)

sudo modprobe applesmc
[sudo] password for mamo:
