I assume that since it is against Fedora guidelines to install to /opt,
that there aren't any exceptions. We do have in the repo a script to
create the AWS compatible symlinks in /opt, rather than the actual
files:
https://github.com/openstack/heat-cfntools/blob/master/bin/cfn-create-aws-symlinks

Would it be acceptable to call the above script in the %post section?
I'm just not sure the proper way to proceed with the compatability and
guidelines being in conflict.

I don't see a way to allow this.  As the guidelines sit now, we shouldn't touch /opt at all.
