are you compiling the kernel modules with MODVERSIONS? if so, you can put the modules under /lib/modules/2.4/ and you'll only need to repackage when the modversions checksum changes. however, your packages for 2.4 will conflict with each other. if you'd like them to not conflict, your packages will need to modify /etc/modules.conf to change the path
