sensord gets built, it just doesn't get installed. I'm Running Red Hat 
Linux 8.0, so I just installed the included 
lm_sensors-2.6.3-2.src.rpm from source CD 1.

Edit the specfile, adding 2 lines (remember to bump up the release #) :
In the %install section, add a line at the end of the section:

%{makeinstall}-prog-sensord

In the %files section add:

%{_sbindir}/sensord

Then build the package:
rpmbuild -bb lm_sensors.spec

The resulting package should contain the the sensord files:

$ rpm -qlp /home/mfratoni/rpmbuild/RPMS/lm_sensors-2.6.3-2.i386.rpm | grep 
sensord
/usr/sbin/sensord
/usr/share/man/man8/sensord.8.gz
