When you modify the package, just add a .1 after the %{?dist}
declaration.

In your case, if you use rpmdev-vercomp you'll see that contrary to
what you'd think, xorg-x11-server-1.3.0.0-40.fc8 is actually rpm newer
than xorg-x11-server-1.3.0.0-40_AM.fc8:

$ rpmdev-vercmp 0:1.3.0.0-40.fc8 0:1.3.0.0-40_AM.fc8
0:1.3.0.0-40.fc8 is newer

But with a simple '.1' at the end of %{?dist} you get a newer package:

[jkeating at lumos scripts]$ rpmdev-vercmp 0:1.3.0.0-40.fc8 0:1.3.0.0-40.fc8.1
0:1.3.0.0-40.fc8.1 is newer
