Not sure I understand what you're getting at, here... but you'll still
need the absolute path in the sudoers file, AFAIK.

Getting back to the alias idea, I generally create Cmnd_Aliases in the
sudoers file for "all" the paths they'll ever need.  So, in the current
example, I'd do something such as:

Host_Alias NET_10_8       =	10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0
User_Alias ORACLE_ADMIN   =	%oracle
Cmnd_Alias ORACLE_ROOT_SH =	/opt/oracle/bin/root.sh, \
				/usr/local/oracle/bin/root.sh

ORACLE_ADMIN NET_10_8 = (oracle) ORACLE_ROOT_SH
