You can build the rpm as anyone, you set the final ownership in the 
%files section of your spec. If that owner doesn't exist on the new 
install machine, you can add the owner to the new machine by including a 
suitable useradd(1) command in a %pre section. Since it's root (with or 
without sudo) who has to install the rpm anyway, that's all possible - 
and it does work ;)
