Wouldn't it be a rpmbuild -ta source_tarball
Exactly that. The command as you stated is :
# rpmbuild -ta pine.tar.gz ( That would be pine , the email client ) .
One note here , though , the Original Poster should be using Fedora Core
2 and above in order for the above command to work , for Fedora Core 1
it is done differently ( man rpm would provide the way ).
but it should have spec file in the tarball I believe, could be wrong.
I believe you are not .
Now as also stated
# rpmbuild --rebuild would work but on *.src.rpm files only
And a small addition for the Original Poster :

I believe you will find the above link useful .
