For snort (since version 2.0.1) I just download the tarball (from
<http://www.snort.org>) and use:

rpmbuild -ta snort-x.x.x.tar.gz

...this builds the binary RPM, no problem.  I have not yet had time to
do as much testing as I need to on the resulting RPMs, but I have not
had any difficulties using them on RHL9, RHEL3 or RC1.
