Regretfully, RPM dependencies do not support logical OR.
(nor any "Suggests" lookalike).

The only solution I'm aware of is to encode the dependencies
without a logical OR. This is always possible, but not always
convenient.
For your case the solution is pretty trivial and maybe is even nicer
than your original dependency flow:
Package D -- creates the user.
Package A -- requires D.
Package B -- ditto.
Package C -- ditto.
In other cases it may be cumbersome though.
