It depend of the module Makefile you build against
You usually need to indicate where the kernel sources, especially when the
kernel version running is not the same as the kernel version you build. If
it's the same version, usually Makefile find it at
/usr/src/linux-$(uname -r)

For openswan for example, when running kernel is not the same as kernel
build, you have to, inside openswan package directory run
make KERNELSRC=/usr/src/linux-$(KVER) module

Usually out of tree modules are installed in /lib/modules/<KVER>/extra
