But you will need fontspec, which in turns will load fontenc (so you
need it) and xunicode (which is more or less an extended version of
textcomp). 

Also you will need fontenc to load special encodings e.g. for chess
fonts. (No it can't be replaced by unicode. Unicode doesn't know all
the needed glyphs, and even if it would: normal "unicode" fonts
seldom contains chess glyphs.)
