Simple answer: no. openpkg build knows how to upgrade but not how to
downgrade. There is also the issue that a downgrade would not necessarily
reverse the effect of an upgrade.
You might archive the binary RPMs after a build so that you can downgrade
without recompiling. This would also ensure that you go back exactly to the
state (regarding versions, not regarding configuration files!) before an
upgrade.
