No, you don't need to build them with koji, it's primary role is to build the official distro packages although it's possible to use it for scratch builds too. The easiest way to do this locally is to do "yum install fedora-packager gcc" and then run rpmdev-setuptree which will setup a local rpm build env. There's a good overview here http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package > - do the standard Fn source RPMs include support for ARM? Yes. We use 100% upstream mainline Fedora src.rpms, 99% of them even build on ARM ;-) > - anyone want a package ported to ARM?

Are you talking of packages that are in mainline Fedora or other third party packages? There is work to get the rpmfusion supporting ARM, this is moving forward and should be more widely available soon.
