I have successfully done this in the development tree, so unless it turns out to cause problems for other build configurations this should work without patching in future.

Bug#471461: linux-modules-extra-2.6: Please add sfc modules
Hi Ben, sfc currently doesn't work, here is the build-log. Nevertheless, I've added the meta files for sfc in lme, but did not enable it yet. As soon as you've uploaded a fixed version of sfc to unstable, I'll enable it. Let me know if you need help test-building it.
