From Gentoo's developer I got :
--- Comment #3 from William Hubbs <williamh@...> ---
To answer upstream's question, yes we use a different prefix and
rootprefix from the default.

Another issue that he pointed out to me was that you would also need
/sys. Without that there is no way to tell whether modules are loaded.

He also pointed out, however, that the test suite is intended for kmod
developers.

Given this information, I have put a restriction in the kmod ebuild so
that we will not attempt to run the test suite.
