Not sure if that is the official way, but from looking at the mock
source, the best place seems to be in config_opts['macros'] in the mock
config for each distro. I have the following in my
fedora-development-i386-core.cfg:

        config_opts['macros'] = """
        %_topdir /builddir/build
        %_rpmfilename   %%{NAME}-%%{VERSION}-%%{RELEASE}.%%{ARCH}.rpm
        %dist   .fc6
        """
        
(The _topdir and _rpmfilename are set in the mock source as defaults,
that's why you should add them when you set config_opts['macros']
explicitly)

You need to reinitialize/clean the buildroot for the config change to
take hold.
