yes, the idea is good but this puts a permanent value in the ./configure 
line, which can break things in the future. You should not put this 
permanently in OPTS anyway, but rather put:

+   if module_installed kernel-headers-2.6 ; then
+      OPTS="${OPTS} --with-headers=/usr/include"
+   else     
+      OPTS="${OPTS} --with-headers=/usr/src/linux/include"
+   fi

inside the BUILD above the ./configure step and be done with it.
