Of course, you'll not be able to unload/reload the modules, which is unfortunate, but if you keep a second copy on a second ramdisk, you could mount, load, and umount that second disk... assuming you have the original storage space in the first place for two copies. (Or, if the system doesn't need the modules to boot to the point of mounting new ramdisks, you could just put them on a second ramdisk to begin with...) -- Outlook users: please do not put my email address in your address book.
