I don't think so.

redhat-rpm-config-9.0.3-51.el6.centos has the following
code in /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/macros:

#---------------------------------------------------------------------
#       Expanded at beginning of %install scriptlet.
#

%__spec_install_pre %{___build_pre}\
    [ "$RPM_BUILD_ROOT" != "/" ] && rm -rf "${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}"\
    mkdir -p `dirname "$RPM_BUILD_ROOT"`\
    mkdir "$RPM_BUILD_ROOT"\
%{nil}

But if I'm reading things incorrectly, I welcome corrections
from the real rpm experts here. :)
