Any sane package that need kernel sources will have an option to point to where they are. Although that does pose the requirement of a sane build system... For 2.6 kernels, the standard (official) way of finding the sources is the symlink /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build, which points to the build directory where "make install_modules" was called. This is obviously quite fragile if you move the sources somewhere else. This isn't for userland things, but the external modules I've built use it.
