It would only exist if you're building the unified kernel.  If you're
building separate domU and dom0 kernels you'll have slightly differently
named build directories.

To just rebuild a couple of modules that I've changed I do: 

  cd /path/to/your/xen-unstable.hg
  make -C build-linux-<whatever>_x86_32 modules

where <whatever> should match the kernel you want to build for. 

This doesn't result in the compiled modules being copied to
dist/install/lib/modules/ in the xen-unstable.hg as it would if I'd done
a normal "make dist", but copying them over is easy enough with a
script.
