Assuming all dependencies are met (just like with tarballs):
# rpm --rebuild package.src.rpm
The sources will be built in the directories under /usr/src/RPM. The final
package will be placed in a directory under /usr/src/RPM/RPMS, depending on
your architecture. You may want to delete the extracted sources from the
/usr/src/RPM tree afterwards.
