Can you just use something like MODULES_WITH_WORLD instead?

make tinderbox MAKE_JUST_WORLDS=yes SUBDIR_OVERRIDE=sys/modules MODULES_OVERRIDE=foo

(If it's only 1 module directory you can probably just use SUBDIR_OVERRIDE directly?)

make tinderbox MAKE_JUST_WORLDS=yes SUBDIR_OVERRIDE=sys/modules/foo
