well, look at /usr/include/linux/ppp-comp.h
you'll see :

#define CI_PREDICTOR_1 1 /* config option for Predictor-1 */
#define CI_PREDICTOR_2 2 /* config option for Predictor-2 */
#define CI_BSD_COMPRESS 21 /* config. option for BSD-Compress */
#define CI_DEFLATE 24 /* config option for Deflate */

thus /etc/conf.modules might contain:

alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate

i don't know what ppp-compress-1 stands for exactly. so i would put it off
to turn off the messages (maybe someone could explain ?)

alias ppp-compress-1 off

the same goes for net-pf-3, in /usr/include/socketbits.h

#define PF_AX25 3 /* Amateur Radio AX.25. */
#define PF_IPX 4 /* Novell Internet Protocol. */
#define PF_APPLETALK 5 /* Don't use this. */

and in /etc/conf.modules

alias net-pf-3 off
alias net-pf-4 off
alias net-pf-5 appletalk
