No, but they may have been modularized.  Probably you just need to
modprobe fan.

Thanks Richard.

Almost but not quite.  I loaded the fan module, which did nothing,
seeing the fan was already running.  I then searched through
/lib/modules/2.6.* for the fan module so I could find the others.
Then loaded the others.  Once I loaded the *thermal* module, the fan
slowed down.  It was stuck on one speed, which was apparently not fast
enough for what I was doing.  So, either a combination of the fan and
thermal modules did something, or just the thermal module.

Thanks again.
