no, it is to have the module loaded when truecrypt is installed and stop try
to load it at boot after it is uninstalled, there is not much to checkout
because the syntax of the file even in theory has no connection to a running
process and so it can't work this way

additionally it would be wrong because unload kernel modules is not
always a good idea - better said: it is rarely a good idea if not
done by hand for a reason
