It is possible to make this work by installing to:
  /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/
At least with the versions of the module utilities in fc those modules
will take precedence at module load time to the ones in the proper
kernel tree (ie: you can upgrade the alsa kernel modules with a separate
package).
