This CentOS wiki is for you:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BuildingKernelModules

Please go to section 3. Building a kernel module rpm package (kmod).
There are some example lines near the end.  This one may be of help:

"In a similar fashion, you may select which kernel-variant kmod
package(s) to build. For example:

[user at host SPECS]$ rpmbuild -bb --target=`uname -m` --define
'kvariants ""' cifs-kmod.spec 2> build-err.log | tee build-out.log

will build just the base-kernel kmod package. "
