Hi Greg,
If you downloaded a "source" rpm, then you can rebuild it using:
rpm --rebuild packagename.ppc.rpm
(replace packagename.ppc.rpm with the name of the source rpm)
This should rebuild everything and place the resulting binary rpm in:
/usr/src/rpm/RPMS/ppc
cd to this directory and install the new rpm using:
rpm -ivh
