loading kernel module by service?

I have certain service (tuncfg) that requires the kernel modules TUN to work. RIght now, I included a line tun in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 to have the module load before the service. Is it possible in general to specify the module required by certain service and have it load the module when one starts the service?

modprobe module_name in the service start script, rmmod module_name in the service shutdown script.
