What architecture? It makes a difference....
The smallest is going to be in arch specific asm going straight to the
kernel interfaces.
The next smallest is going to be something like busybox (which has an insmod
app) compiled with uClibc (or with glibc 2.0.7 or similar if you have space
for shared libs).
Or you could use modutils (with modprobe and depmod and friends disabled)
linked vs uClibc (or glibc 2.0.7 or similar if you can afford shared libs).
Some useful links (I am prejudiced towards busybox myself ;-):
