you can either edit the spec file to put it somewhere else (probably not
what you want) or you can do the usual rpm_build and install it with 
rpm -ivh --relocate /usr/bin=/usr/local/bin /usr/lib=/usr/local/lib
etc...

Dig through both binaries with rpm -ql (or rpm -qpl on the uninstalled
one) to make sure what it's going to put and where.

Be aware of any path issues you may have. /usr/local/bin is usually
before /usr/bin.
