I just needed that module for my own work. If you are currently running
a 686 build you don't need to worry about it.

Sorry to confuse the matter that way.

In the future you might find you want functionality that is not
supported in the default kernel. That's when you need to worry about
modules.

if you open a terminal and type

# uname -r

and get something like this

2.6.8.1-3-686

you are running a 686 kernel you can remove the 386 stuff without fear.
