Technically, yes. But it would required parsing the RPM header of
every downloaded package, iterating through its filelist and searching
each entry in the rpmdb. And this would not catch conflicts againts
packages of the same transaction.
Its probably not worth the effort. Arbitrary file conflicts are very,
very seldomly needed.

Would it be possible to examine the package before installation, to check
for the files it contains against the RPM db or the filesystem ?
