I would do the following:

In /etc/sysconfig/modules/thinkfinger.modules (needs to be executable):

#!/bin/sh
/sbin/modprobe uinput &>/dev/null

In the spec:

%post
%{_sysconfdir}/sysconf/modules/%{name}.modules || :

%preun
rmmod uinput || :

/etc/sysconfig/modules/*.modules are executed at boottime, and the scriptlets 
load and remove the module at the right moment.
