Using MacPorts to install RPM is pretty perverse. ;-)

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.

Good luck!
