Put them somewhere in /usr/local or another non-intrusive place and put
two module paths in the XF86Config files section:
ModulePath "/usr/local/somewhere/lib/modules"
ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules"

Chances are the manual install messed things up, but anyway what happens
when you try them?

If you mean xf86config, that's obsolete and would certainly make a worse
job than XFree86 -configure and xf86cfg.
