After cold conditioning, will there be sufficient yeast in the bottled beer to carry out carbonation?
Yes.
The 'Yeast' book gives the specific number of yeast cells required (which I don't recall off the top of my head) but continues to mention that that (small) number of cells can actually look clear/bright and that only a very light dusting of yeast in the bottom of the bottle is required.

Unless the beer has been 'cold conditioned' in the fermentor for an extended period (ie: several months or longer) there will still be enough yeast left in suspension to bottle condition/carbonate the beer.
