First, you need to create a mirror image of the main RPM directory in your account:

mkdir $HOME/rpm
mkdir $HOME/rpm/SOURCES
mkdir $HOME/rpm/SPECS
mkdir $HOME/rpm/BUILD
mkdir $HOME/rpm/SRPMS
mkdir $HOME/rpm/RPMS
mkdir $HOME/rpm/RPMS/i386

Use sparc, or alpha, or whatever's appropriate. Finally:

echo "%_topdir    $HOME/rpm" >> $HOME/.rpmmacros
