I think I might have found a solution here:
https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kernel/Dev/DKMSPackaging

They give an example Makefile:

obj-m := hello.o
KVERSION := $(shell uname -r)

all:
        $(MAKE) -C /lib/modules/$(KVERSION)/build M=$(PWD) modules

clean:
        $(MAKE) -C /lib/modules/$(KVERSION)/build M=$(PWD) clean

... and specify the need for using the KVERSION variable below:

"Please use a variable to keep the kernel version we want to compile. In the above example, it is $(KVERSION). We usually run dkms build under the various kernel version, and the DKMS will pass the target kernel version to Makefile."

I will test if this works for me.

It seems like the KVERSION variable also needs to be specified in the dkms.conf MAKE command with reference to the dkms variable $kernelver

Add dkms.conf and put it with your Makefile

Here is an example dkms.conf for hello-0.1

PACKAGE_NAME="hello"
PACKAGE_VERSION="0.1"
CLEAN="make clean"
MAKE[0]="make all KVERSION=$kernelver"
BUILT_MODULE_NAME[0]="hello"
DEST_MODULE_LOCATION[0]="/updates"
AUTOINSTALL="yes"

PACKAGE_NAME, PACKAGE_VERSION is necessary information, it shall be the same with the information or your folder name.

CLEAN is the command to clean up the folder. Every time before build, it will be executed. If unset, it is assumed to be "make clean"

MAKE[0] is the first command to build the kernel object. Since this is an example, this is the only command we have. This field tells DKMS how to build the kernel object, and we can pass the target kernel version by using $kernelver that DKMS provides us.

Ok, so I looked around for some other dkms modules, and how they handled Makefiles and dkms.conf, and I was able to make the files in this project work with AUTOINSTALL=yes

By using variables, dkms can build against other kernel version headers, and still default to the currently running kernel version, if needed.
