I've uploaded here the script i use here to rebuild my modules:
http://tdegreni.free.fr/gentoo/emodules

It's in bash too, and i think there are some functions that could
help for implementing the feature you are talking about:
 - get_kernel_KV() gives the $KV value corresponding to a kernel
sources tree.
 - get_cpv_KV() gives the $KV value from the saved environment of
an installed package.
 - list_cpv_to_build() gives the lists of packages providing
modules that were not last built using the right $KV.

It doesn't use equery neither, but rather direct access to the 
${ROOT}var/db/pkg.

Feel free to copy/past whatever you find useful (there's probably
no legal header, but it's gpl in my mind).
