Thanks for spotting this, after reading kernel/module.c it seems obvious to me that you are right. The following simple patch fixes it:
--- linux-2.5.54/init/Kconfig.old 2003-01-08 00:05:12.000000000 +0100 +++ linux-2.5.54/init/Kconfig 2003-01-08 00:05:38.000000000 +0100 @@ -127,7 +127,7 @@ config MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD bool "Forced module unloading" - depends on MODULES && EXPERIMENTAL + depends on MODULE_UNLOAD && EXPERIMENTAL help This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
