The Kolab Server packages released by the Kolab Projekt so far
are based on www.OpenPKG.org, they have documentation,
which might include how to handle their rpms.

In general in a Kolab Server installation you have
/kolab/bin/openpkg rpm
/kolab/bin/openpkg rpmbuild
/kolab/bin/openpkg man rpm

To install a source package /kolab/bin/openpkg rpm --install xxxxxx.src.rpm
 /kolab/bin/openpkg rpmbuild -bX  spec.file
on the unpacked sources, is your friend.
(With X having different values, see the manpage.)
There is a lot of RPM related information around.
