Actually relocatable rpm's are quite easy .. did you ever check the --prefix
<path> option that rpm has? from the man page:
--prefix NEWPATH
For relocateable binary packages, translate all file paths
that
start with the installation prefix in the package
relocation
hint(s) to NEWPATH.
And also for things that don't use constructs like %{_bindir} (which is
defined in your /usr/lib/rpm macro's as %{_prefix}/bin) you can use this:
--relocate OLDPATH=NEWPATH
For relocatable binary packages, translate all file paths
that
start with OLDPATH in the package relocation hint(s) to
NEWPATH.
This option can be used repeatedly if several OLDPATHâs in
the
package are to be relocated.
ie if the spec states /usr/bin you can --relocate /usr=/opt/myprog

I never include any Prefix: in the spec file, but i do specify:
BuildRoot: BuildRoot: /%{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root
