Write a .spec file.
Build the rpm.

A good start can be found on the rpm.org website:

http://www.rpm.org/RPM-HOWTO/

All you have to do is not include the configure, prep, build
etc.. parts and just make sure it packages up everything.

If you aren't going to be doing this I don't see why you
save yourself some trouble and just tar up the binaries.

Your call though.
