Kernel module path for ports?

I'm working on a port that needs to install a kernel module (loaded by
an rcNG script). Is there a preferred location for kernel modules
installed by a port?
A quick search of Google, the Porter's Handbook, and hier(7) came up
empty. The following locations seem to be popular:
$PREFIX/lib/$PORTNAME
$PREFIX/modules
$PREFIX/share/$PORTNAME
There's also /boot/modules, but that's outside of PREFIX... Would
anyone care to set a standard?
Thanks,
Craig
