You could add a subpackage for each of these, e.g. a specfile like this
would produce packages mypkg-foo and mypkg-bar:
...
Name: mypkg
...
%package foo
...
%description foo
...
%package bar
...
%description bar
...
%build
# build both foo and bar
...
%install
# install both foo and bar
...
%files foo
%dir /usr/local/foo
/usr/local/foo/...
...
%files bar
%dir /usr/local/bar
/usr/local/bar/...
...
