All the .modules files in there are simply run as shell scripts, so
you can actually make the script

----8<----
#!/bin/sh

/bin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none
/sbin/modprobe lirc_serial
----8<----

and leave the module options line in /etc/modprobe.d/lirc.conf, or you
can even include them on the modprobe line in the shell script. I'd
probably leave them in the modprobe file though, so that you always
get those options set when modprobing (say, you unload the
kernel-provided lirc module to try out a newer one you've built
locally).
