I propose the following additions to the texmf substitutions:
%{__sed} -i 's?^TEXMF =.*?TEXMF =
{$TEXMFCONFIG,$TEXMFVAR,$TEXMFHOME,$TEXMFSYSCONFIG,!!$TEXMFSYSVAR,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFMAIN,!!$TEXMFDIST}?'
%{__sed} -i 's?^TEXMFLOCAL =.*?TEXMFLOCAL = %{_texmf_local}?'

Also context.cnf is quite different from texmf.cnf. Is it an issue?
I think not, since it is additional to texmf.cnf.

There is a -p missing for the first install.

in the tkdefaults patch, the defaults should be like in texlive
and the appropriate Requires set.

Instead of doing a link for the cmap ghostscript resources
I think that the texmf.cnf should be changed.

Also I think that 
# move the configuration files and symlink them
is wrong. Better leave as is.

mktex.cnf should certainly be under the sole user 
control, and in /etc/texmf/web2c

The common package may also be called texlive-common
and it should certainly be in Requires for more packages, for
example texlive, texlive-fonts, texlive-dvips, xdvi, mendexk, 
dvipdfmx.

The install-info should not have .gz and have || :.

The scriptlet commands should be in Requires(...). I hope
that rpm can figure out that the binary package has in fact to
be installed before the texmf package to be able to run the 
scriptlet.

Also it seems to me that at least updmap should be run as a 
texmf package scriptlet, and not as the main package scriptlet, 
since all that updmap needs is in the texmf packages, including
the config file.

As usual I can do patch for these issues (except for the scriptlets, 
this needs more discussion).
