Depends. if the tarball has a spec file in it rpm will do it:
from the rpm man page:
The argument used is -b if a spec file is being used to build the
package and -t if rpm should look inside of a (pos
sibly compressed) tar file for the spec file to use. After the
first argument, the next character (STAGE) specifies
the stages of building and packaging to be done and is one of:
-ba Build binary and source packages (after doing the %prep,
%build, and %install stages).
If the tarball in question happens to be a perl cpan module check out
cpanflute. I saw a message about it on this list a while back and it
worked like a dream.
