There is a simple workaround - create a dummy package that has
    BuildRequires: the-package-to-check
(and maybe "echo foo > README" and %doc README to make sure the package 
doesn't always fail)

The relevant part is: if the-package-to-check is not installable, the 
dummy package will end up in "unresolvable" state. If it builds, you 
know that the dependencies are available.

For a real-world example of such a dummy package, see
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:cboltz/postfixadmin-QA
