I think I misunderstood. Maybe you *should* be writing a spec file, and whatnot...
Other than that, I wouldn't be surprised if checkinstall could do what you need, but I'm not the one to tell you how... :P
Well it is looking like I need to take a crash course on rpm spec file writing then ;)
Unless someone else has any ideas?
What I have done sometimes in the past is to install the source rpm of a package, get newer sources, edit the spec file for the newer sources, maybe other edits needed for the spec file depending on the differences between the versions, etc. It isn't the easiest, but it sometimes works well.
