That should have been taken care of by "alternatives," which is part of RPM:

(%:~/tf-dir)- ls -l /usr/bin/emacs
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           23 Sep 14 01:48 /usr/bin/emacs ->
/etc/alternatives/emacs*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           19 Oct 21 04:10
/etc/alternatives/emacs -> /usr/bin/emacs-20.7*

The idea is that it's scored based on what you have installed.  If you only
have the emacs-nox, then that is run instead.  gcc ends up linked to
colorgcc if installed, otherwise to gcc-2.95.2.
