If you want to edit an existing .tga (to add more flags to it, maybe), yes, you'll have to add a "new" mask. That's because .tga's don't know the difference between different layers and masks; all of those are "flattened" into one image when you save it as a .tga for the first time. They all exist, but you can't manipulate them like you could before you saved it.
So, to add more flags, just open your old kills.tga, put the new flags where you want them, merge the visible layers (Image->Merge Visible Layers), select everything using the "Select by Color" tool, and add a mask to your new, edited image, and then save it.
