I don't know about suse but I can show you how to do it
in redhat or mandrake.

rpm -ivh package.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/RPM/SPECS
rpm -bb package.spec
   # the above line will build binary rpms. you should
   # notice where and what packages were written at the end
   # of the build.

cd /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586  # see above notes
rpm -ivh package.i586.rpm

OR

rpm --rebuild package.src.rpm
   # the above line will build binary rpms. you should
   # notice where and what packages were written at the end
   # of the build.

cd /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586 # see above notes
rpm -ivh package.i586.rpm


NOTE: i586 is the machine's achitecture. it could be i386, i486, i686,
athlon.
