clash.... Perhaps you need to show us the content of your Makefile,
both for user and kernel space code, to ease clarification...
I think yes, you just need to be careful for things like : CFLAGS

(likely it will be different for user and kernel code), include path
and so on.
So, to avoid headache, I think it's better to separate the Makefile....

I have used separate makefiles and added this piece of code in the Makefile in the topmost directory
@for dir in ${subdirs}; do \
(cd $$dir && $(MAKE) all) \
|| case "$(MFLAGS)" in *k*) fail=yes;; *) exit 1;; esac; \
done && test -z "$$fail"
This loop goes into each and subdir and executes "make"
