This seems to be a pre release snaphsot, so the release should start with 0.
Also you can use 0 for the Version instead of 0.0. So here is my proposal:
Version: 0
Release: 0.1.<date>svn2744%{?dist}

You should also include the date of the checkout, see:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines#SnapshotPackages
If the checkouts you want to package are normally more than a day old, you can
also use the date to specify which version you want to checkout, e.g.
svn -r "{20070901}" export svn://linuxbios.org/repos/trunk/util/flashrom flashrom
Then you do not need to carry the svn revision.

Hint:
# svn -r 2744 co svn://linuxbios.org/repos/trunk/util/flashrom flashrom
# rm -rf flashrom/.svn
you can use svn export instead of co to avoid the creation of the .svn directory.

You should use
install -D -p -m644 %{name}.1 $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_mandir}/man1/%{name}.1
to install the manpage (-p is added here) to preserve the timestamp.
