Uhm.
Why not
rpm -Uvh http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/rpmforge-release/$rpmforge_version
directly?

Good question - i said the same when i saw it on a site and tried to consolidate wget + rpm into a one line command.
The problem (from memory) is that rpm -Uvh blah.rpm does not handle redirections nicely (is that a return code of 302? from memory) however wget is a champ at that sort of thing.
I went to http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/FAQ.php#B, copied the line for my release and executed it. Worked perfectly. For CentOS 5.0 on x86_64, that's:
rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/packages/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.x...
