sensors-detect in CVS works great:

Probing for `SMSC EMC6D100, EMC6D101 or EMC6D102'... Failed!
Probing for `Analog Devices ADT7467 or ADT7468'... Failed!
Probing for `Analog Devices ADT7476'... Success!
     (confidence 7, driver `to-be-written')
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM87'... Failed!

and of course finishes up with:

#----cut here----
# I2C adapter drivers
modprobe i2c-i801
# I2C chip drivers
# no driver for Analog Devices ADT7476 yet
modprobe eeprom
# sleep 2 # optional
/usr/local/bin/sensors -s # recommended
#----cut here----

This is good.  At least from an end user perspective now it looks like it is 
known to the system even if a driver hasn't yet been written.

Thank for the quick response :)
