It shouldn't be all that hard to whip up a script for that task. You
can use rpmdev-extract from rpmdevtools to unpack the original rpm
into a tmp dir, then diff the files in there against what's on the
filesystem. It could be a handy script to add to rpmdevtools perhaps.
In fact, you may be able to extend the existing rpmdev-diff script to
handle comparing a package with the installed files on the system.
Of course, any moment now I expect someone to chime in and say such a
script already exists. :)
