I would also like to see this more often, e.g. to have an alternative to Gentoo's Project:Prefix. But it does not work at the moment, so one problem is that most libraries will not be found by the dynamic liker because of missing RPATH (you will need a relativ rpath like using $ORIGIN...). So at the moment you will have to recompile each src.rpm with a own rpmbuild version (prefix set in rpm macros and some custom rpath stuff) and of cause change a lot of package because /sbin/ldconfig will not always be preset (and some maintainers use hardcoded paths in their spec files). But this is a different story. package > management interfaces? I do not think this is possible with at least the official openSUSE packages (there is even a strip-rpath when building on build.opensuse.org).
