I think I've figured it out.  Following in build_rpm looks to work (and handles 
the case of a preconfig file being in either the platform or defaults 
directory) after "my $dir_bld = ...":

    my $preconfig_file = $pcf->{$key . "_PRECONFIG"};
    my $preconfig_bld = 0;
    if ( $preconfig_file ) {
    my $dflts = "defaults";
    if ( -f "$cf->{top}/$cf->{plat_dir}/$preconfig_file" ) {
        $preconfig_file = "$cf->{top}/$cf->{plat_dir}/$preconfig_file";
    } else {
        if ( -f "${cf}->{config_dir}/$dflts/$preconfig_file" ) {
        $preconfig_file = "${cf}->{config_dir}/$dflts/$preconfig_file";
        }
    }
    if ( $rpms[0] && -f $rpms[0]) {
        if ( -M $rpms[0] > -M $preconfig_file ) {
        $preconfig_bld = 1;
        }
    }
    }

And then adding:
    $r   .= "preconfig file changed, "   if $preconfig_bld;

after "my $r = '';" in build_rpm()

Of course there may be a much more efficient way to do this, any suggestions 
appreciated!
