That is called a relocatable rpm. While it is possible, the Makefile
and all the shell scripts should be written with rpm relocation in 
mind. Hylafax gives options at the compile time where the directories
should go. Making it relocatable involves changing the Makefile and
perhaps some scripts too. I want to limit my role to compiling
Hylafax with configure --with-<whatever-option>. 

To summarize, it can probably be done but some effort is required.
