As near as I can tell from reviewing the user-mode-linux documentation,
this is a requirement of user-mode-linux and is where it puts all of its
other kernel modules (at least for the way that UML was implemented in
Debian).  From its README.Debian:

    Kernel modules
    --------------
    Modules are installed in /usr/lib/uml/modules/<version>.  The easiest
    way to get to them from within UML is to use hostfs, e.g.:

    mount -t hostfs -o /usr/lib/uml/modules hostfs /lib/modules

    or:

    echo "hostfs /lib/modules hostfs /usr/lib/uml/modules 0 0" >> /etc/fstab

    or copy them into your root filesystem (rootstrap can do this
    automatically).

Unfortunately, I haven't yet found other module source packages that
support UML to see how other module packages handle it.  A mini-policy for
how to handle UML would be *really* helpful for this.
