I compiled a rpm 4.0 on a Solaris 2.6 system. Not without problems
(location of the BerkleyDB files and missing stpcpy function), but
it is compiled and installed now. You need gmake and maybe some
other gnu utilities. I did not check for it, just let configure/make
use what I have on the system. If you have problems just send me a
mail with some more info (error messages, ...).

Only for library dependencies.

Or build a package containing a "Provides: /bin/sh". This package
must not have any scripts. With rpm 3.0.x you can install using:

rpm --install dummy_sh.rpm contains_scripts.rpm

This does not work with 4.0. Here you have to use:

rpm --install dummy_sh.rpm
rpm --install contains_scripts.rpm

Does anyone know why?
