is there any nice way to install build requirements on buildserver?
Not sure what you mean by that, but all necessary Perl packages are available as rpm, for instance perl-Encode-Detect-1.01-1.el5.rf
What I usually do with SA is do a normal make and make test. That reveals any such dependencies and problems. If make test was successful I do the rpmbuild.

And if you _really_ need a particular module that is newer than rpmforge or EPEL, there is always cpan2rpm. I don't recommend just letting it auto-build the package. I tend to clear out the cruft from the spec file it generates and then build that which creates a clean package.
