Best bet is to check contribs for stuff. If you can't find it there, you
can look at www.freezer-burn.org/rpm.php3 for a few things (everything is
also compiled for i586), but the majority of that is in the main distro or
in contribs.
The other thing you can do is download the source rpm and do a:
rpm -bb --target=i586 *.src.rpm
But then you'll need to have installed any libraries or devel files
something might need to compile.
