No problem. Here "ppc" means the architecture where this srpm was
created. However srpm is arch-independent regardless of on what platform
the srpm were created.

In that way you are not using the srpm you downloaded anymore. 
You are just unpacking the tarball (with no patched) and are 
compiling vanilla source by yourself.

Perhaps what you want to do is $ rpmbuild -bc dhcp.spec after
$ rpm -ivh dhcp-XXXXX.src.rpm . Please try
$ man rpmbuild
