And most of them have ~negligable market share, and a great chunk of

I guess if you are 31337 enough to be a slackware user you shouldn't
have any trouble stripping the headers off the RPMs & unpacking the
archive payloads. There is little magic to the packaging in terms of
triggers / post/pre install scripts - so that should work for you.

Nah - as Joerg said - check the LSB, if your distro is not compliant
wrt. RPM installation - flame them instead; cf.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Standard_Base
Finally - if you really, really, really want binary packages for your
own system - it should be rather trivial to generate them - hack at
solenv/bin/make_installer.pl - there are already hooks (used by most
'real' packagers) to do what is (essentially) a simple file install -
you could easily tar the results of that & up-load to the site of your
choice.
Foo ! ;-)
