Basically the steps to configure rpmbuild to work on your machine are:
$ mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS} $ echo '%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild' >~/.rpmmacros
And then to rebuild a source rpm:
$ rpmbuild --rebuild xxxxxx.src.rpm
By the way, do we already have something on CentOS Wiki to help people build their own RPMs? I think this would be helpful, since it's not that easy to find that information from the man pages and documentation.
Not as a separate page but as part of the Kernel Source Wiki article:

Yes, it is probably a good idea to provide its own wiki page because rebuilding from srpm is frequently asked in other places as well (like IRC and forums).
