I have a driver that requires installing the kernel sources (into my own rpmbuild tree, not the system)

Why not define the kernel source as buildrequire?

I can successfully compile and install the module from tarball after manually prepping the kernel sources, but I need to turn this into a proper RPM and am wondering if there are macros I'm not seeing for how to prep the kernel sources as part of a %prep or %build phase. I have looked at many real-world spec files and googled all afternoon and cannot find any info on this.

Have a look at the %setup macro and it's parameters http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/RPM_...
