Well, getting a basic mock setup is pretty easy; just "yum install
mock" and then add yourself to the mock group.  Then you can do
something like:

mock -r fedora-development-x86_64-core.cfg --debug /path/to/src.rpm

to build that package for rawhide, x86_64 (assuming you have an x86_64
machine).  However, it will be awfully slow because each build has to
download and install 110MB of packages.  I get around this by having a
complete local Fedora mirror and editing the configuration files in
/etc/mock to point to it; others install a Squid proxy which means
you'll only have to download each package once.
