Yeah. useful:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=postgis.git;a=blob;f=postgis.spec;h=53c558366da23ea5afdec41331b3ed40b0138c72;hb=HEAD

It seems it uses an approach similar to what Rich suggested to check
version. It also seems to build for/against a single postgresql
version, adding an explicit require for the same version (not sure how
you can end up with a mismatch tough, maybe on upgrades?)
