I do something like that.  What I do is to use the same source
RPM package for work and home.  This is complicated by the fact
that at work I run both Solaris 5.8 and Red Hat Enterprise 3.0.
At home I run Mandrake 9.0 & 10.1 and Mandriva 2006 & 2007.
Here's a part of my spec file template that manages that.


%define srcname	encdec
%define binname	%{srcname}_%{_os}
%define version	12.17.1
%define release	0

%if %at_work
    %ifos linux
	%define name %{binname}
	%define distversion %(rpm -qf --qf='%{VERSION}' /etc/redhat-release)
	%define systag rhe
    %else
	%define name %{srcname}
	%define distversion %(uname -r)
	%define systag sol
    %endif
%else
    %define name %{srcname}
    %define distversion %{mdkversion}
    %define systag mdk
%endif

Name: %{name}
Version: %{version}
Release: %{release}_%{distversion}%{systag}_1home_1work
Provides: %{srcname}


%_os is defined by default with RPM.  I define %at_work in ~/.rpmmacros
I almost forgot, at home I install my RPMs as root into standard 
places, like /usr and /usr/local.  At work I install into /home/me
This is also managed via ~/.rpmmacros as are things like locations
for perl, etc.


Good luck....
