You can't do it from modules.conf, the interface isn't up yet. Actually, the problem with trying to do it via /etc/modules.conf for the tg3 driver isn't a matter of the interface being up or down, it's a matter of the tg3 driver not supporting kernel module options for duplexing. The /etc/modules.conf options are used when the kernel module is loaded, not when the interface is configured. tg3 will not support duplexing/speed kernel module options in the future, so ethtool/mii-tool is the way to go.
