I think you need to install the pcmcia-source package & maybe pcmcia-cs (I'm not sure if the source has all the tools). The source pkg makes the directories you're missing.
In case you haven't seen it, I recommend this site: http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html and it's other docs.
