The rightmost column there -- the one which says
'ip_conntrack_irc,ip_conntrack_ftp,ipt_state' -- lists the
modules that depend on ip_conntrack. So if you do

sudo modprobe -r ip_conntrack_irc ip_conntrack_ftp ipt_state 

it should get rid of them all at once. (I think modprobe
accepts multiple modules at a time as arguments. If it
doesn't, just modprobe -r each of those modules one at a
time.)
