I really like the idea someone posted recently (sorry, don't recall who or where) of a vendor just doing
make -C /usr/src/linux modules SUBDIRS=`pwd`
This way you get all kinds of things right automatically, including the user's favorite compiler settings, right header files, MODVERSIONS, SMP, other relevant .config settings, etc.
You just have to ensure that Makefile, Rules.make and .config are installed -- presumably these should be in the distribution's kernel headers package. Also presumably, the user astute enough to compile his own kernel will make the right /usr/src/linux link.
