I've read Maximum RPM fairly closely, but I haven't found an example of someone using rpm as a source developer (i.e., the packager is the source developer, too). The examples assume the "pristine" source is in an archive somewhere and can be placed in the SOURCES directory.
I have seen sources that contain a spec.in file that generates a proper spec file for the project (proper version number, proper versions for dependencies, etc) when autoconf is run to create the configure file.
Then you can build rpm's from the source tarball with
rpmbuild -tb foobar-1.0.tar.gz (or -ts for src.rpm or -ta for binary and src.rpm)
That's probably the best way to do it, rather than have make do it.
