Once you have installed the source rpm, you can cd to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS 
and execute rpm -ba apache.spec, and it should build.  The binary RPM's will 
be found in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 (if i386 is your arch).  This is the 
same as building apache from source, but you end up with rpm's to install and 
take care of dependencies for you.
