With Linux 2.6.5, gcc 3.3.1, glibc 2.3.2 and BusyBox 1.00-pre10 on 
embedded ARM I use the following busybox and kernel configuration with 
working insmod/lsmod/rmmod:

Busybox:

#
# Linux Module Utilities
#
CONFIG_INSMOD=y
# CONFIG_FEATURE_2_2_MODULES is not set
# CONFIG_FEATURE_2_4_MODULES is not set
CONFIG_FEATURE_2_6_MODULES=y
CONFIG_LSMOD=y
# CONFIG_FEATURE_QUERY_MODULE_INTERFACE is not set
CONFIG_MODPROBE=y
CONFIG_RMMOD=y
CONFIG_FEATURE_CHECK_TAINTED_MODULE=y

Kernel:

#
# Loadable module support
#
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y
# CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD is not set
CONFIG_OBSOLETE_MODPARM=y
# CONFIG_MODVERSIONS is not set
CONFIG_KMOD=y
