Here's a patch that tries to load the i2c-dev module when pbbuttonsd is started and it's on an alum powerbook. It's slightly hacky, but I'm not sure there's a better way to do it. There's no real hotplug support for detecting a i2c bus as far as I can tell. I'm sure I've missed some machine types, I've just used the one for my machine. Comments and criticisms welcome.
