Small improvements for VirtualBox-OSE-kmod.spec

Just a few notes (I just wanted to look at the kmod):

- I could not rebuild VirtualBox-OSE-2.1.0-1.fc10.src.rpm on F10, x86_64:

- why isn't the src for the kernel-module part of the VirtualBox-OSE-kmod
package? That how it's done for all the other kmods. But maybe doing what you
might have some benefits as well (smaller srpms mainly).

- find a few small changes (untested, obviously) for the kmod spec file in
attached patch; some of them are cosmetic, others fix a corner case where only
the akmod package gets build

We haven't worked out how to support kmods in the EL branch at all. I got a bit
disappointed with and distracted from the whole EL idea, as a lot of people
wanted it, but only a few helped -- and besides me all of them only showed
interest in their own packages; nobody helped to bring the repo as a whole up
and forward
