Come on - the module has an install.sh script that installs it without
dkms. 

    $ cd /usr/src
    $ hg clone https://bitbucket.org/Swoogan/aziokbd
    $ ./install.sh

or instead of running their script just do:

    $ make install

DKMS is a means of hooking into the kernel-update process in binary
distros to automatically recompile external modules. As we compile our own
kernels (most of us?), compiling modules manually is not that big of an
issue (we control when the kernel update happens).

However, as it is more practical to have portage handle the rebuilds, here
is a quickly written ebuild for you.
