As I understand it this is the problem you are trying to solve, it's usually better to explain the problem rather than approaching the issue with a solution (injection in this case). You have software package foo. If you are installing foo on one system (OS/version/arch) then it requires or provides files. If you are installing foo on a second different system then something else happens. If this is the case you can use macro defines to have a conditional spec which you can build for multiple system targets, this would give you multiple binary rpms targetted at different systems. For completeness you could add a distro tag to the release and use a system such as mach to ensure automagic requires are correct. The redhat XFree86.spec is a good example of a complex specfile with many conditionals set as defines.
