It turns out RPM works fine on Mac:

http://rpm4darwin.sourceforge.net/

-- why not have reference binaries for all ports in RPM format, to
avoid endless recompiling if you don't have to?  Watching gobs of
compiler output fly by doesn't make one a Unix expert, in the immortal
words of the funroll-loops.info of the "Gentoo is Rice" fame.  Yeah,
yeah, it depends on what you have -- but look, Red Hat does it!

Cheers,
Alexy
