You shouldn't have to worry about depmod - it will only operate on the
current running kernel, or the one you explicitly tell it to, and there
should be no direct interaction with GRUB.  I'd be much more worried
about installing tarballs onto an RPM based system, as Stacklet seems to
want to do from my brief look at the site you referenced.  Be sure you
have a good backup before proceeding with that.
