No. IANAL but having read the license I think you also have at least to:

* replace all the occurrences of the name TrueCrypt from the derived program
and any associated materials. 

* replace all the graphics

* display this phrase "Based on TrueCrypt, freely available at
http://www.truecrypt.org/" in the main program (if technically feasible) and in
the documentation.

This is a real PITA, I know. I suggest you to use the same name Mandriva used
(to better identify the package). 

http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/RealCrypt

Unluckily it seems that Mandriva were not able to comply to the license and
dropped the package:

https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=42930

This seems really a daunting task. 

For example, the rpmforge package does not comply to the license.

http://svn.rpmforge.net/svn/trunk/rpms/truecrypt/truecrypt.spec

When the package will be approved and imported in RPM Fusion, I suggest to
create a wiki page similar to the Mandriva one. If should be listed and linked
from the following page:
