That's easy, just ask the rpm database (rpm -qa ivtv-kmdl-\*) or check
under /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates (!)

But I don't know if it is worth while checking this in the
Makefile. Thinking a bit further into the future, what check would
have to be made if ivtv becomes part of the kernel? At some point one
needs to assume that a user building himself should be able to do the
module detection/deactivation by himself.
