So the kernel packages will have a different spec file and everything?

I may be on crack, but that's a different issue. 

You can have multiple versions of the same package installed -- but you
still can't have multiple *subpackages* (in a spec file) with the same name
but different versions. But if you're intending to separate out the kernel
module into a completely separate source RPM, that isn't relevant.

Or openafs-kernel-<openafs-version>-<pkg.release>.<kernel-version>.<arch>.rpm.
