Sure. Just delete or rename the module file itself:
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.ko
If it's not there, it can't get loaded! Alternatively, you could add a
line saying:
install ehci-hcd /bin/true
to /etc/modprobe.conf, which would cause modprobe to avoid installing the
ehci-hcd module.
