It must be more than ten years since I last used dkms and I have long
forgotten the details.

Perhaps something similar to what we use for the kernel-{lt|ml} builds
may be appropriate. I needed to modify the kernel specification file
in just three places. Immediately following the calls of the %prep,
%build and %install macros the enable script (from the devtoolset-9
package) was sourced. Example --

%prep
. /opt/rh/devtoolset-9/enable

If you were to create a controlling shell-script for the dkms
build/install process a line, as above, may be the solution.
