Here is SRPMS from Fuduntu,
ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.sourceforge.net/pub/sourceforge/f/fu/fuduntu/sources/mtpfs-1.1-0.3.svn20120510.fu2012.src.rpm
and here is from Fedora 17:
ftp://ftp.icm.edu.pl/vol/rzm2/linux-fedora-secondary/updates/17/SRPMS/simple-mtpfs-0.1-4.fc17.src.rpm
maybe they can be recompiled and added to some repository.
