I hope the question ought read `as NON-root'.

Just put

%_topdir /some/directory/you/can/write/to
%tmpdir /some/temporary/directory/you/can/write/to

to your ~/.rpmmacros and create the appropriate SOURCES,
SRPMS, SPECS, BUILD, etc. directory structure in
/some/directory/you/can/write/to

Unless you are able to prevent users from writing sequences
of bytes that could be interpreted as rpms to disk, you
cannot prevent them from creation of rpms.
