case $1 in
    pre)
        for mod in $(</etc/suspend-modules.conf); do
            rmmod $mod
        done
    ;;

        for mod in $(</etc/suspend-modules.conf); do
            modprobe $mod

esac

If you use

$(awk 1 /etc/suspend-modules/*.conf)

Then you can do this for all .conf files in /etc/suspend-modules/ which seams to be a more modern best practice way to do settings now.

instead of rmmod, I would use modprobe -r
