You can usually compile a single module like this:

gcc -c -O2 -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -I/usr/src/linux/include -o your_mod.o
your_mod.c

You may need to add other command-line options as appropriate for
your kernel configuration - do "make modules" and watch a couple
gcc commands go by to get the complete list. Basically your
command should look just like the ones used by "make modules",
except for the file names.
