The correct way to do it is to use:
make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/dir/ ...
Extract from top-level makefile:
#
# INSTALL_MOD_PATH specifies a prefix to MODLIB for module directory
# relocations required by build roots. This is not defined in the
# makefile but the arguement can be passed to make if needed.
