There was a short discussion not long ago on the TUR mailing list regarding external kernel modules. It was suggested that they be setup using dkms, which will easily allow one package, for multiple kernels.
Having looked at the dkms setup suggested, and the few example modules in the AUR (search dkms), this might be a good idea, and make it much simpler to support a range of different kernels. Contrary to what andyrtr said, the DKMS system looks quite good, and would fit well.

It might be a good idea for those kernels in aur/community.
But I don not see any reason why we should provide more than one kernel within the official repositories ([current]/[extra]).
That's exactly what I thought too. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
