Yes, in principle. My recollection is that this didn't work when I tried it though - the init scripts parse sysctl.conf fairly early, and before the netfilter/conntrack kernel modules were loaded with the result that the entry in sysctl had no effect. That test was a few releases ago though, so the situation may have changed with F-11. The whole concept of sysctl.conf is a bit flawed presently, IMO. Presently it's parsed once at startup, whereas it would be a better design if it contained settings that were applied when a module was loaded. To do that, modprobe would have to parse it for each module, which might be prohibitively slow - have never investigated.
