Sure, since RPM is just a series of sh scripts that run while installing a
package.  You could put something in the %post section that did this.
Then the scripts would be set up for whoever ran the rpm command, but not
anyone who didn't have this same enviroment.  This would imply multiple
rpm databases on a single system for different users.  I'm not familiar
with using RPM in this way but I bet it could be done...
