Go visit http://www.rpm.org and take a look around. This is not a trivial process, and it involves creating a spec file and a sample build. I have attached an example spec file I have built a spec for mawk-1.3.3 awhile back. You will want to add a %config entry with your /etc/rc.d/init.d file and the corresponding files so that sshd will start up. Also, make sure that you create the server side DSA and RSA keys on startup if they don't exist. I have built such a package in the past, but I seem to have misplaced the spec file.
