(a) You can use "alien" and convert the .deb package to .rpm package and try installing it - caveat not recommended but worth a try (dependencies from the "other" distro can be a nightmare to resolve). (b) build the package from source. many tar ball nowadays come with a .spec file to build the RPM package.
