What type of packages are you trying to relocate?

For target packages I don't expect that it would ever work.  The items built by 
the build system often have internal paths and expectations.

For SDK packages (i.e. things that run on the host), it might be possible to 
make them relocatable, but it would be specific to those style packages.  (Any 
relocatable package has to have the inbuilt knowledge to move and change 
configuration files as necessary.  Also you have to have the right set of 
packages to install into the environment and such.  I don't believe we use RPM 
to install any native/SDK packages today.)
