Yes, I just repeated it to test.

I had 9755 installed.  I then installed 9742.

modprobe.conf look like this:
# nvidia kernel module
alias char-major-195 nvidia-1_0-9742
alias nvidia nvidia-1_0-9742
 
without running nvidia-graphics switch.

I rebooted and got this:
NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 1.0-9742, but
NVRM: this kernel module has the version 1.0-9755.  Please
NVRM: make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver
NVRM: components have the same version.
NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 1.0-9742, but
NVRM: this kernel module has the version 1.0-9755.  Please

so I ran nvidia-graphics-switch 9742, checked modeprobe.conf which still 
has 9742, and rebooted

NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 1.0-9742, but
NVRM: this kernel module has the version 1.0-9755.  Please
NVRM: make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver

I removed 9742 and went back to 9755.
