Kernel-Modules are usually compiled against the sources in either 
/usr/src/linux or /lib/modules/<version>/build.

Take a look at the nvidia-kernel ebuild or other ebuilds that build 
kernel modules. It would be fatal to compile them against the headers in 
/usr/include. On Gentoo, you can have linux26-headers-2.6.7 installed, 
but actually be running a 2.6.10 Kernel - and even worse, it is even 
possible to keep 2.4 headers when running a 2.6 kernel.
