My 2 cent: Normal users should get modules pre-compiled as rpm package (read: "we are not gentoo"). For enthusiasts something like dkms might be a good idea. But I think most of us don't want to maintain two codepaths for compiling kernel-modules, so we need to get both concepts under one hood. E.g.: either use dkms in the buildsys, too, or find a way to recompile the kmod srpm for new kernels automatically.
dkms can create packages with precompiled kernel modules and can be used to build/update itself whenever a kernel update occurs. I did this for RHEL-4 on our sattelite server. I knew that if I was late however, the dkms could take care of itself on those systems.
