The UML binary is just a normal usermode program not essential to the boot proces (of the host) so I'd guess it goes in /usr/bin/, but please check the LSB for the exact requirements. Following LSB wil make sure your packages are usable on more distros than the one you use. The modules for it are a different story, as they are not needed on the host fs. Actually, I think a UML package without a filessytem or a simple way to create one is an incomplete package. Once you supply a barebones filesystem it is obvious where the modules should go. I suggest you pack a minmal FS with UML with yum preinstalled so that the rest of the installation is easy. These filesystems are something that probably should go into /usr/share/uml.
