On my mac modules.dep was created when I installed the linux-image. 
buildd@tanda:~>ll /lib/modules/2.6.21-1-mac/
total 116
drwxr-xr-x  7 root root  4096 May 16 23:07 kernel

Note that I created a symlink as Stephen suggested before installing the
deb:
 cd /boot && sudo ln -s vmlinux-2.6.21-1-mac vmlinuz-2.6.21-1-mac
I will try to fix that for the next version.

I haven't booted the new kernel yet, the mac just started building gcc-4.2...

Thanks for testing the kernel, it seems to be running fine for you?
