Your contents should not be writable by the group.
Moreover than making the KEXT inaccessible to the group, it probably
should not be in /Library/, since that is (and should be) group
writable, limiting the effectiveness of any permissions to the KEXT. A
purist such as myself would contend that KEXTs belong in
/System/Library/Extensions, owned by root:wheel.

Stupid question: what privileges are supposed to be put on the
components of a KEXT package? The next major release of OS X (and so
the next major release of Darwin I suppose) thinks that the following
privileges are bad :
.kext folder: drwxrwxr-x 4 root admin
Contents folder: drwxrwxr-x 6 root admin
Info.plist file: -rw-rw-r-- 1 root admin
Mac OS folder: drwxrwxr-x 3 root admin
binary: -rw-rw-r-- 1 root admin
At least that's what kextload -tv is saying.
So what are the correct privileges supposed to be?
The KEXT is in /Library/StartupItems
