epel defines a %{rhel} macro  to 4 or 5   when rhel6 comes whenever that is 
hopefully it will have defined in redhat-release the macros defineing %{rhel} = 
6

probably a better way to do the above example is 

%if 0%{?fedora} <= 8 || 0%{?rhel} <= 5
BuildRequires:  python-setuptools
%else
BuildRequires:  python-setuptools-devel
%endif


that way if the macros are not defined the newer package is required not the 
older way.
