I take it you're running debian. Create a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ (say midi,
or snd-cmipci) with the following text:
options snd-cmipci mpu_port=0x300

That should do it. For more info look at the man page for modprobe.conf.
Also, note that "If the file /etc/modprobe.conf exists, all contents
of /etc/modprobe.d/ are ignored by default." (from the man page)
