This is where Roy and I have been stuck as far as an automatic
conversion process. The stuff you included in the openrc-9999 ebuild was
something I had sent to Roy months ago before I realized module
parameters would be an issue. Looking at a swath of various
/etc/modules.autoload.d/ files, I haven't come up with shell code that
does the right thing everytime with all the files, which is why I've
left it up to being a manual process for the user and simply documenting
it.
expecting users to read and do it themselves is certainly a path to
destruction for many. while i could have written it in shell, i just did it
in awk. i hope you're just overstating things when you say months, because

we're going to need to extend the syntax anyways to allow for
per-version-per-module arguments. unless openrc does that now ... Roy ?

Currently OpenRC does not support per-version-per-module arguments. What
is your proposed syntax?
