If you want to know the buildrequries, you can do this to with the SRPM:

rpm -qp --requires <name>.src.rpm

You can also extract the spec file directly with the command and then do
things with sed or grep to that file:

rpm2cpio <name>.src.rpm | cpio -i *.spec

You can also see all the macro information for rpm with the command:

rpmbuild --showrc
