The list of *owned* files can be obtained with rpm -qal. One can query every file in the filesystem (like rpm -qf) and grep what is not owned, but it will be much more resource intensive than the former. Of course, owns and controls are two different things -- symlinks in /etc/rc.d are not owned by any package but they are still controlled by them (through scriptlets). I doubt these can be filtered automatically.
