The way .spec file is done, this is impossible, because %if's in there
override take what's defined in the specfile and don't consider what's
given in the command line.

In RH pine packages, you can do like:

rpm --rebuild pine-*.src.rpm --define 'nokerberos 1'


The difference is like:

%{!?no_x11_askpass:%setup -q -a 1}

vs

%if ! %{no_x11_askpass}
%setup -q -a 1
%else

However, the former construct won't work with e.g. SourceX: files.

It's just easier to rpm -Uvh *.src.rpm, edit the .spec file and rpm -ba
that.
