Right, you need to set KERNBUILDDIR based on what the user tells you.
Usually it will be /usr/src/sys/${arch}/compile/${KERNCONF}.

Don't try to do that.  Just let the admin supply the proper value.
(That way you can build a module for one kernel on a machine running
another.)  The GENERIC defaults are OK for anyone who isn't trying to
debug Arla, and there's already a standard way for those people to
configure ports with kernel modules properly.
