I wouldn't think so but I guess you never know. The only thing would be the software wasn't ready. BUt they already have the software on the Touch Pro working. I'd say it's very unlikely.

FYI GPS on touch/mogul was never unlocked until HTC themselves released an update unlocking it for sprint
It was originally locked due to the licensing scheme of the chips in the phone - HTC has to pay licensing fees to unlock each feature. I imagine sprint paid to get GPS on their version of the phone, and people just moved that software to the devices of other carriers.
Since tv-out would not be built into these chips, there would be no reason for HTC to lock up the functionality if it was built in.
