Those provide for a single SRPM that compiles on multiple distros. 
That is good, and standard practice, but I think the OP was asking
if there was a way for a single *binary* RPM to install on multiple

vendors has been rather ugly - usually a combination of static linking
and lengthy %pre/%post scripts that make me afraid to install the package.
