That wouldn't be sufficiently flexible.  What you want is let the "internal
dependency generator" (either as something in librpmbuild or a separate
helper program) produce text output, let it filter through some optional
script and parse/use the result.
Then you can filter out some unwanted dependencies, or add them, or
modify...
