In general, 'make-kpkg modules-*' will call 'debian/rules kdist-*',
for * being (empty), 'image', 'clean'.  So if you pass all of the
right command-line parameters to pretend to be kernel-package (KSRC
and KVERS come to mind), then something like this should work
(probably):

> openafs-modules-source 1.2.9
> kernel-image-2.4.18-686
> kernel-headers-2.4.18-686

  debian/rules kdist-image KDREV=2.4.18-1 KVERS=2.4.18-686 \
    KSRC=/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.18-686
