Unfortunately it's hardwired :-( There's only a shell variable
$MODLIB, but you can't override that from the command line. A solution
could be patching the Makefile, like

  mv Makefile Makefile.bak
  sed 's/\(^.*MODLIB=\)\/lib\/modules\(.*\)$/\1/path/to/some/where\2/' \
    < Makefile.bak >Makefile
  make modules_install
  mv Makefile.bak Makefile
