Yes, and you probably just need something like

%build
%kmdl_config
%if %{kmdl_userland}
%else
make -C %{kmdl_kernelsrcdir} SUBDIRS=`pwd` modules
%endif

%install
rm -rf %{buildroot}
mkdir %{buildroot}
%if %{kmdl_userland}
%else
make -C %{kmdl_kernelsrcdir} SUBDIRS=`pwd` modules_install \
  INSTALL_MOD_PATH=%{buildroot} INSTALL_MOD_DIR=updates/where/it/should/go
  DESTDIR=%{buildroot}
if [ -d %{buildroot}%{kmdl_moduledir}/../extra ]; then
  mv %{buildroot}%{kmdl_moduledir}/../extra/* %{buildroot}%{kmdl_moduledir}/where/it/should/go
fi

%endif

You just send me a public ssh key in PM.
