 The current version of the rpm port is 4.4.9:

 browser:trunk/dports/sysutils/rpm/Portfile

 There is a separate port for 4.5:

 browser:trunk/dports/sysutils/rpm45/Portfile

 The latest stable version upstream is 4.9.1.3:

 http://www.rpm.org/wiki/Download

 And, FWIW, that's what's in current versions of Fedora:

 https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/rpm

 There is a 4.10.0:

 http://www.rpm.org/wiki/News

 But it's not widely used yet.

 Is there any chance of updating MacPorts's version of RPM to something
 more recent? Is this something i could help with?

 I realise that there are also 5.x versions, but this is a fork. I'm
 interested in having a recent 4.x version for consistency with Fedora and
 related Linuxes.
