This is definitely not the case. Backwards-compatible module-init-tools 
pacakges are available at:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rusty/modules/

I have at least a couple machines where I switch back-and-forth between 2.4 
and 2.6 kernels.

Also, be sure to read
http://www.linux.org.uk/~davej/docs/post-halloween-2.6.txt
before making the switch to 2.6.
