It is not supposed to work (installing via rpm). You may try to do like
this:
-----
# cd $LINUX_BASE
# rpm2cpio -q < $directory_with_rpm_package/$rpm_package | cpio -id
-----
Then find any new binary executable files and brandelf(1) them (only
executables, not libraries).

Well, a better way may be to create a port. You'll get at least a clean
deinstall possibility then. And use send-pr(1). ;-)
