I think alternatives might fit the bill. RPM also does Provides: in a way similar to dpkg, where you can have, say, sendmail and postfix both provide mail-transport-agent or somesuch.

I'm not sure what equivs does but your description sounds like rpm --justdb is a package-focused version of it. (So if all else fails, you could create a fake package with the files in question and use rpm --justdb fake.rpm to add them.)
