Well, we already do, here's the relevant extract from,
ftp://ftp.santafe.edu/pub/swarm/redhat/RPMS/i386/README.i386:

Java support enabling `add-on' package:
=======================================

You can add Java support to *either* of the above `swarm-base'
packages

[Note: this is *not* required if you wish to purely program in
Objective C and not in Java]:

* swarm-kaffe-2.0.1-2.rh6.i386.rpm

  which requires kaffe-1.0.4b4 (also available in the Red Hat 6.0
                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^                        ^^^^^^^^^^^
  distribution or at one of the many Red Hat ftp mirrors).
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Nowhere do we recommend installing kaffe from source (using binary
packages with dependencies is the whole point of using rpm, after
all).
