I was trying to do this (for hv3...) and couldn't figure out a way.
Mandriva can do it, because its %configure script includes a
CONFIGURE_TOP variable:

# This is an improved version of %configure (from PLD team).
%configure \
  %before_configure ; \
  %{?!_disable_libtoolize:%{?__libtoolize_configure:%{__libtoolize_configure};}} \
  [ -f $CONFIGURE_TOP/configure.in -o -f $CONFIGURE_TOP/configure.ac ] && \
  CONFIGURE_XPATH="--x-includes=%{_prefix}/include --x-libraries=%{_prefix}/%{_lib}" \
  $CONFIGURE_TOP/configure %{_target_platform} \\\

(etc etc etc)

might be nice to have that in Fedora. Obviously, if CONFIGURE_TOP is not
specified it defaults to ./ , and if you want to run a configure from
some other dir, you define CONFIGURE_TOP in the spec.
