You mean because Hagoromo was a Juubi jinchuriki, his descendants got some of that power without Hagoromo having that power himself necessarily?

It's possible for sure. But i think Hagoromo's lack of obvious Sharingan manifestation shows that KKG can be dormant even in such people, or can otherwise be overruled by more powerful KKG. Now the Black Rods used by the Gedo Statue are i think an obvious reference to Shikotsumyaku (and possibly the other half of what makes All Killing Ash Bones. E.g. Shikotsumyaku delivers the bone part and Black Rods the all-killing part), so i think it's safe to say that some form of that power was present in the Juubi. But that by itself doesn't mean that Ashura or Indra got shikotsumyaku. Hamura still seems like the more natural path to me.
