Actually, a combination of these might not be a bad idea.

Something like this (not tested):

if [ -n "$(which module-rebuild 2>/dev/null)" ] ; then
    if [ -n "${AUTO_MODULE_REBUILD}" ] ; then
        echo "Rebuilding external modules:"
        module-rebuild ${MODULE_REBUILD_OPTIONS} rebuild
    else
        echo "You might want to rebuild the following external modules:"
        module-rebuild -XC list | tail -n +2
        echo
        echo "You can use module-rebuild to do that."
        echo "If you want to have your external modules automatically rebuilt"
        echo "when making a kernel's modules_install target, set"
        echo "AUTO_MODULE_REBUILD in your environment. You can set"
        echo "MODULE_REBUILD_OPTIONS to options to pass to module-rebuild."
        echo "(-X for example)"
    fi
else
    echo "You might want to emerge sys-kernel/module-rebuild to keep track of"
    echo "kernel modules you've installed with emerge"
fi
