You should take a look at ksmbd package. It does compile an out-of-tree module. Maintaining a package like that might be challenging for a stable version. The kernel in the stable branch might receive updates during its life but they are only published when a dot version (yy.mm.x+1) is actually released. However, packages are rebuilt as they are changed using the current kernel in the stable branch. So, to build your module with a kernel that will actually be published. you can only update a package with a kernel module when you know the kernel in the stable branch is the one that will be used by the next dot release. This "window of opportunity" happens a little before or after the dot release is built. Once the kernel is updated again, that window is closed. And that updated kernel module will only be compatible with that specific dot version, and not with any other dot version before or after it.
