Considering that most people don't even balance trailer tires (a topic for another thread), then I'd say you don't need to have the tires rebalanced...
That said, if I were buying new tires or having them rebalanced for some other reason than "installing a TPMS cap on the valve stem" then I'd ask the tire center to please balance them with the TPMS cap on the tire. I don't think it really makes much difference. You probably won't hurt or even affect tire balance enough to harm anything, but if rebalancing does occur at some later date, you might as well get the most precise rebalance you can (with the TPMS cap on the valve stem)....
