You can use the powerfull install command in your modprobe.conf. Putting forcedeth in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and forcing it install in modprobe.conf after e1000 via a install command could be a solution. I never tested or tried this, I dont know if it will work. Try to setup HWADDR first.
Their is also a lot of module dependencies in /lib/modules/ maybe you could try to make forcedeth dependent of e1000 in these file. But dependencies are compiled at every boot !

Is there a method to control module load order?
I want to ensure that the e1000 module loads before the forcedeth driver.
