I found this within a proftpd.spec file which may be of some use

  CFLAGS=-DHAVE_OPENSSL LIBS=-lcrypto ./configure \
        --prefix=%{prefix} \
        --sysconfdir=/etc \
        --localstatedir=/var/run \
        --mandir=%_mandir \
        %{?_with_mod_tls:--with-includes=/usr/kerberos/include} \
        %{?_with_mod_sql_mysql:--with-includes=/usr/include/mysql} \
    %{?_with_mod_sql_mysql:--with-libraries=/usr/lib/mysql} \
        %{?_with_mod_facl:--enable-facl} \
        %{?_with_ipv6:--enable-ipv6} \
        --with-modules=${MODULES}


You could possibly have a 'sed' statement run on the '.config' within a
with declaration:

%prep

%{?_with_ntfs: sed -i -e "s/CONFIG_NTFS not
set/CONFIG_NTFS=y/g" .config}



FYI, I just threw this together off the top of my head and haven't
tested any of it, but hope it at least helps get you going.
