RPM is in no way bound to a fixed directory. You can install packages in 
different locations using --prefix and you can even have a completly 
separate RPM database (eg in your home directory).

We use that quite often to host multiple but completly separate server 
installations on a single host without the requirement to resort to 
vserver or similiar techniques.
It's a huge advantage that gstep-make apps are so much position independend.

Personally I have about three different RPM database running on my dev 
system in home directories to do some testing.
