In general I am not sure if there is a sane way to package these build time modules. It would be impossible to cover all the combinations and external "modules" a user might want. Is it a good idea to provide a separate package that has all kinds of different modules built in? Probably not. And people who need certain non-standard modules are better off compiling their own package.
I would probably provide a vanilla package with sensible defaults and make it easy for people to extend on that.
I think it is a good case for keeping vanilla package in `community` and providing semi-official AUR package that allows easy selection of custom modules but is guaranteed to be the same in all other ways. Re-building does inevitable with such architecture, so it is all about making it convenient.
