Like repotags? i.e., build a custom kernel, and install of calling it
kernel-2.6.18-123.el5, calling it kernel-2.6.18-123.el5.local?

Anything after the 123 in the example above is derived from the %dist
tag in RH/Fedora packages, assuming its present in the spec. So most
recent packages can be rebuild like so:

rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'dist .el5.local' foo.src.rpm.

Of course, if that's not the type of tag you're referring to, please
expand your explanation of what you're after... :)
