It should work like this already. Except there are a few things to fix: Allegro, Cairo and Freeimage dependent contribs aren't created in separate rpms, plus OpenSSL dependency isn't set when Harbour is build with OpenSSL option. I'll commit something, but I'm not expert in RPM and don't have an opportunity to test, so I'd like to ask RPM users to test and further patch it.
