Regarding kmod: I don't see why anyone would want to use an alternative modprobe implementation, rather than the awesome libkmod. However, if they do, that's now really simple:
The latest systemd version supports disabling kmod (and hence all loadable modules support). If you do that, you can then easily add back your own version of one udev rules file (80-drivers.rules) to implement module loading with whatever mechanism you prefer (such as calling /sbin/modprobe). No patching of udev needed...

Gentoo's udev fork Posted Nov 22, 2012 14:26 UTC (Thu) by zuki (subscriber, #41808) [Link] Yeah, the latest systemd README shows a list of dependencies that are almost entirely optional (./configure switches and/or autodetection):
REQUIREMENTS:
Linux kernel >= 2.6.39
with devtmpfs
with cgroups (but it's OK to disable all controllers)
optional but strongly recommended: autofs4, ipv6
dbus >= 1.4.0
libcap
libblkid >= 2.20 (from util-linux) (optional)
libkmod >= 5 (optional)
PAM >= 1.1.2 (optional)
libcryptsetup (optional)
libaudit (optional)
libacl (optional)
libattr (optional)
libselinux (optional)
liblzma (optional)
tcpwrappers (optional)
libgcrypt (optional)
libqrencode (optional)
libmicrohttpd (optional)
I'm not really sure what this whole outcry about pulling in dependencies is about.
