Detecting version in a SPEC file

Your Buildrequires are your declaration of what is required for the build
the spec wants to do.  You don't want it to depend on what happens to be
around.

I think what you want to do is:

%define gnupg_version 1.2
%if "%fedora" >= "6"
%define gnupg_version 1.4
%endif
%if "%rhel" >= "5"
%define gnupg_version 1.4
%endif

...

BuildRequires: gnupg = %{gnupg_version}

...

%check

%if "%gnupg_version" = "1.2"
this data
%else
that data
%endif
