I assume you're talking about this snippet of tools/remus/kmod/Makefile:

$(MAKE) -C $(KERNELDIR) SUBDIRS=`pwd` modules

which expects to find a Makefile in $KERNELDIR but does the actual
building in place, in the tools/remus/kmod directory (unless the
kernel build system has changed recently?). I thought this was a
pretty standard way to build out-of-tree kernel modules.

I'm not sure why this is causing you problems (is it?), but if you're
willing to carry sch_queue in the pvops tree, I'd be happy to drop
tools/remus/kmod in the unstable tree.
