Splitting is trivial, I have plans to work on this soon in rpmdevtools, but 
automatically enabling eg. check-buildroot if the package is installed is 
trickier.

I don't think we can define __arch_install_post automatically (ie. "claim 
ownership of the macro") for all systems.  If the system already had 
__arch_install_post set to something in let's say /etc/rpm/macros, what 
happens?  What about ~/.rpmmacros?
