I'd just modify the source of the existing module to have your desired
defaults.  Look for the relevant MODULE_PARM declarations in the
module's source code and adjust the associated variable's defaults
accordingly.

     static int foo_port = 0;      /* modify this... */
     MODULE_PARM(foo_port, "i");   /* ...and not this */
