 ebuild.py..? Are you using 2.1.0_alphayymmdd? You may very well be the only 
 person trying to use rpm with that version. Try dropping back to 2.0.53 and 
 see what happens there.

If I may chime in. Our rpm support is a tad incomplete currently. I've 
got some patches which overhaul the rpm handling in portage that come
from Peter S. Mazinger so portage can properly generate usable rpm's
without requiring user interaction etc. It's $FEATURE based and I've got
about 135 packages built from it in my local tree. I think Peter has
some 500+ working ones.

http://dev.gentoo.org/~solar/patch_overlay/sys-apps/portage/ 
portage-*rpm*.patch

The package rpm itself in portage needs some love, which is why these 
really patches have not been submitted to bugzilla/portage-dev yet.
Before this support can really work properly we have to find a
maintainer for the rpm package and get him/her the patches to allow us
to have /usr/src/gentoo and gentoo-like configurations. Originally only
redhat/mandrake/suse/conectiva compatible packages were supported. We
have some PIC corrections, corrections from openpkg, allow to bootstrap
into packaging, and better handling of shared/debug/rpc allow to use
newer beecrypt and system provided popt corrections from openpkg.



Peter anything I'm forgetting to mention about this?

Hmmm, then I must be missing where the spec file gets generated,
because there is no code in ebuild.py that does it...

 From looking at ebuild.py, there is no code in there to generate .spec 
 files.
 
  I looked through bugs.gentoo.org but couldn't find anything.  I'm
  assumming this is a bug, but it seems glaringly obvious (I would've
  assumed it was reported since you can't build an rpm without a spec
  file).  Am I the first person to try creating an rpm or is this just
  user error? ;)

 No, you're not the first:

A little grep -r rpm /usr/lib/portage led me to a dyn_spec() function inside 
/usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh.
