Yes, /etc/modules.conf will also work, however modules listed there are loaded at a much later point in time.
But unlike autoloading the machine has to reboot if you want to change the loaded modules.
If you're using /etc/modules.conf, why not just modunload the modules you want to remove? (Modules "pushed" from /boot.conf cannot be unloaded, as far as I understand.)
