Note that Open MPI hard-codes its installation directory into some of its libraries and executables (so that it can find its data files, etc.). So we don't support relocatable RPMs, in the RPM sense of the word "relocatable".
You can, however, override OMPI's hard-coded installation location with various environment variables, however. See http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=building#installdirs.
