First, I'm assuming you have module-init-tools installed.
   

I have modutiles, which I believe is the equivalent for 2.4.* kernels.

After you have put the above lines in a file in /etc/modutils,
run /sbin/update-modules. The module should load even though you will
get complaints about unresolved symbols.
   

I'm still getting both complaints and the module isn't loading.

# update-modules 
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/usb/pwcx.o

# modprobe pwcx
/lib/modules/usb/pwcx.o: kernel-module version mismatch
       /lib/modules/usb/pwcx.o was compiled for kernel version 2.4.23
       while this kernel is version 2.4.23-1-386.
/lib/modules/usb/pwcx.o: insmod /lib/modules/usb/pwcx.o failed
/lib/modules/usb/pwcx.o: insmod pwcx failed
 

this means you need to force it  -f flag

insmod -f /lib/modules/usb/pcwx.o

results may vary however.

another possible is a kernel re-compile, and turn off module versioning ??

# lsmod |grep pwc
pwc                    38992   0 
videodev                5472   1  [pwc]
usbcore                52908   1  [audio pwc hid ehci-hcd usb-uhci
usb-ohci usb-storage]
