At build time? No, it won't, and for truly being relocatable the
package needs to support this at runtime, e.g. the build should not
hardwire /usr and friends anywhere. Being relocatabale needs a lot of
work at the source level.

Same as for any other package:

rpmbuild --define '%_prefix /opt/my/stuff'

Or define _prefix somewhere more global as you will probably want to
put more packages under your /opt hierarchy.
