The basic answer is: yes, but only with rpm-4.1 or later.
Even then it's caveat emptor, I believe I'm the only one who has tried
to do what I call "package bundles", i.e. executing rpm -Uvh in %post
and rpm -evh in %preun for some manifest of *.rpm's within a package
bundle.
Note that you almost certainly want to add
Requires: rpmlib(ConcurrentAccess) = 4.1-1
or your package bundle install can/will hang on older versions of rpm.
