Bad news: you have to recompile kernel.
Good news: there is only needed one additional module.

When configuring kernel (through menuconfig or xconfig) You should mark for 
building as module following item:
Device Drivers/Character devices/Support for user-space parallel port device 
drivers

Then you should compile and install kernel and reboot.
After that the avrdude should work.
