Nah. There are really two scenarios:

A small set of binaries (I'll leave the definition of "small" up to the
contributor and reviewer):

Just put the list of binaries with their licenses in the license field,
like:

License: BSD(foo, bar)/GPL(baz)

rpmlint will squeal, but oh well.

The other scenario is for large packages. If you've got a LOT of content
with varying licenses, then you should really think about splitting it
into subpackages, with their own License: setting.
