With mock[1] you probably don't need anything beyond one machine, mock
basically runs rpmbuild inside a minimal chroot (which also installs for
you) of a Fedora/Centos (might also be usable for Suse) release that you
want and the rpm dependencies of the package. Given that most developers
will have a Fedora/Centos/RHEL/Debian machine building rpms shouldn't be
a problem really.
