What about doing it like systemd and generate a .pc file instead 
that can then be queried like so, e.g.:

$ pkg-config kmod --variable=modulesdir

- .pc files would be shipped with libkmod development package, not the
  kmod tool in a binary distribution

On that point: No, they would not.
Again, confer with systemd: systemd.rpm(SUSE) provides systemd.pc,
systemd-devel.rpm provides libsystemd.pc. kmod.rpm would provide
kmod.pc, kmod-devel.rpm would continue to provide libkmod.pc as
it does today.
