That's what I usually do:

 # rpm -i kernel-2.6.x-nnnn.src.rpm
 # cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/
 # rpmbuild -bp --target=x86_64 kernel-2.6.spec
 [...wait...]
 # mv /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.x/linux-2.6.x /usr/src/kernels/2.6.x-nnnn.bernie
 # cd /usr/src/kernels/2.6.x-nnnn.bernie
 # vi Makefile
 [...set EXTRAVERSION to "-nnnn.bernie"...]
 # cp ../<oldkernel/.config .
 # make oldconfig
 # make
 # make modules_install
 # make install

Is it wrong?  Is there an easy way to skip the first steps?
