It complains because the install scripts in the RPM spec are set up to
use RPM's "--relocate" option.  I'm not sure yum lets you do it during
install time, but you can install with RPM the first time and then yum
should honor the relocations on future upgrades.

  rpm --relocate /var/opennms=/opt/newpath -ivh opennms-*.rpm

/opt/opennms, /var/opennms, and /var/log/opennms are all eligible for
relocation.
