Unlikely...the freeze plugs wouldn't have anything to do with the headgasket going, although one could argue that the leaking freeze plugs were stopping the headgasket from going.
My guess is the headgasket and the freeze plugs were corroded and the freeze plugs just went first. I wouldn't be surprised if the head is corroded (there is a fix involving aluminum-filled epoxy).
Just cuz you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you, but consider this: If the guy knew your headgasket was about to go he would have told you then and gotten your business THEN, rather than take a chance it would blow in some other state and have some other Saab dealer/mechanic make the money! Most of the time these guys want to fix it now...they don't like it any more than you do when something happens after they've worked on a car! Bad karma, if nothing else.
