I'm glad you posted that, because on the advice of Joel Merrick 
<joel at servicestyle.com> I was about to do the same thing.

I've patched, but not yet compiled - looking for a way to 
compile JUST one module.

But In the past, I have done make modules and install and it
worked fine (just took a long time).  

I wonder if you missed the make cloneconfig step?  
Theoretically, with a recent and correct config you should be
able to recompile modules with no problem.
