Not sure what this is, as src_install has: src_install() { default if use modules; then cd "${S}/driver/linux" linux-mod-r1_src_install fi # Drop funny unneeded stuff rm "${ED}/usr/sbin/knem_local_install" || die rmdir "${ED}/usr/sbin" || die # install udev rules udev_dorules "${FILESDIR}/45-knem.rules" rm "${ED}/etc/10-knem.rules" || die } Nothing really useful from the link to the wiki.
I think if modules are optional, you need to set MODULES_OPTIONAL_IUSE, otherwise the eclass has sanity checks to see if calls are missing. Right now, if USE=-modules, the eclass still gets its pkg_setup called and so on, then in pkg_postinst, the sanity check says "hey, I got inherited, but you didn't call some of my phases". You can fix that by guarding the pkg_setup etc use, or better, just delete modules from IUSE and set MODULES_OPTIONAL_IUSE="+modules" instead before inherit which handles all that for you.
Thank-you, can we update the Wiki with some helpful text around this error? Since currently it has nothing. I'm willing to help.

By the way, when doing IUSE=+modules you do not need ebuild logic around it aka, linux-mod-r1_src_compile+install and others are a no-op when USE=modules is not set
Also, the "cd" should be avoidable if modlist is configured with the path.
