Backward vs. forward compatibility discussion aside, there is a reason why most (all?) distro kernel packages run depmod at *install time* on the target machine. There might be modules installed by other packages, the format might change, newer depmod has a configuration file and finally the files are not exactly small and can be recreated rather easily. It might be a good idea to do the same when compiling kernels manually and copying them around.
