You might find the Fedora package naming guidelines wrt. kernel module
packages handy: http://www.fedora.us/wiki/PackageNamingGuidelines

Concrete examples (and more up to date than the above doc):
http://download.fedora.us/fedora/redhat/9/i386/SRPMS.stable/kernel-module-thinkpad-4.4-0.fdr.1.src.rpm
http://apt.ggu-squad.org/~pmatilai/fedora/kernel-module-ltmodem-8.26-0.fdr.5.a9.src.rpm

The question how to cleanly incorporate building packages for smp and
bigmem kernels from the same SRPM is sort of open yet.

Cheers,
