The other part of my thought was that we could use this as a general mechanism going forward, for any packages that got themselves into an ifdef anywhere in the system.
For example, for the ppc kernels, we could include BOEL_NEEDS_PDISK BOEL_NEEDS_HFSTOOLS etc.

The single MODULE_UTILS variable we have explicitly avoids having more than one set of module utilities installed, since it can only be set to one value.
Placing the setting of this variable in kernel.rul seems reasonable, though ideally it would be in an arch/<arch>.rul (along with any other architecture specific settings) - that would avoid all of the ifeq $($(ARCH),) stuff, and be replaced with a simple include $(ARCH).rul.

I was just puzzling over the ifdef DEPMOD_BINARY in Makefile, and got to thinking, it would be nice if we could simply have a flag, that could be set anywhere (like in any of the .rul files) to allow a package to claim that they need X.
Here's how it could work:
In kernel.rul, - 2.4 kernels could claim BOEL_NEEDS_MODUTILS=1
- 2.6 kernels could claim BOEL_NEEDS_MOD_INIT_TOOLS=1
etc.
In Makefile, or anywhere else, we could then do a: - ifdef BOEL_NEEDS_MODUTILS
And last but not least, in modutils.rul, we could do: - ifdef BOEL_NEEDS_MODUTILS
