There doesn't seem to be an rpmbuild port; are you sure you don't mean
the port rpm itself?

rpm comes in several versions; the one labeled "rpm" is v4.4.9.
Presumably that's an oldie but goodie, although MacPorts isn't as
careful about that as say Gentoo.  Try something newer ("port search
rpm" for a list; AFAICS "rpm54" seems to be the latest.

Yes, I've installed rpm54, and that installs 'rpmbuild'.

I ended up with the following .rpmmacros file:

---------

%_topdir /Users/sfomberg/code/powercms_rpm

%_tmppath /tmp/rpms

%__spec_prep_cmd /bin/sh

%__spec_prep_template #!/bin/sh

%__spec_prep_post exit 0

%__spec_build_template #!/bin/sh

%__spec_build_post exit 0

%__spec_build_cmd /bin/sh

%__spec_install_template #!/bin/sh

%__spec_install_post exit 0

%__spec_install_cmd /bin/sh

%__spec_clean_template #!/bin/sh

%__spec_clean_post exit 0

%__spec_clean_cmd /bin/sh

%_build_name_fmt %%{ARCH}/%%{NAME}-%%{VERSION}-%%{RELEASE}.%%{ARCH}.rpm

-------------------------

not pretty, but that made it to work.
