No, it would not.

The kernel modules are signed with an ephemeral cert as part of the
kernel build process.  They are not signed with the Fedora cert used
for Secure Boot.  The vmlinuz and grub2 binaries are signed with the
Secure Boot cert.  The tool that does the signing only works with
PECoff binaries and the kernel modules are not PECoff.

So no, the build system does not support signing modules outside of
the normal kernel build.
