One way is for rpm to supply a hint, like an envvar, based on a more
global context than available in %post.

However the hack would need some design.

Hint: I'd look seriously at using
    %post -p <lua>
if I were you, there is a global and persistent variable space that 
shares state with
rpm that will be much more convenient than impedance matching through 
envvar's.
