It depends on what image you are building, etc. So there's no generic answer.
I did have a look at the kernel-module-split.bbclass, and I didn't see
an explicit RDEPENDS on the kernel-image, so it is something that
should be doable (to install them without installing the kernel
image).
The "traditional" way to do this is commented in the kernel.bbclass:
# Allow machines to override this dependency if kernel image files are
# not wanted in images as standard
RDEPENDS_${KERNEL_PACKAGE_NAME}-base ?= "${KERNEL_PACKAGE_NAME}-image"
So if you explicitly clear RDEPENDS_${KERNEL_PACKAGE_NAME}-base in
your kernel recipe (or a bbappend), it should at least stop trying to
install the image if kernel-base is being installed.
