scripts/Makefile.lib just does:
	ifdef CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX
so you should do the same

that said, cmd_depmod is just a shell command.  and you're running another 
script helper (depmod.sh).  how about passing it unconditionally ?
	cmd_depmod = ... -P "$(CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX)"

since the default will be "no prefix", using -P "" is the same thing.

you can do:
	DEPMOD=$1
	KERNELRELEASE=$2
	shift 2

you could do instead:
	later=$(printf '%s\n' "$version" "3.13" | sort -V | tail -n 1)

shift 2
