You seem to be looking for mach :-)

If you're running any recent Fedora release, just "yum install mach",
otherwise you can find more information here :
http://thomas.apestaart.org/projects/mach/

Once set up, just "mach build foo.spec" and it'll download all sources
for you and rebuild foo inside a chroot where it'll use yum to populate
it with all build requirements.
Then for "bar" which build requires "foo", "mach build bar.spec" will
just work, installing the freshly built "foo" package.
