Freshrpms.net has rpms for xmame.

I have built it from source.  Not very hard.  I have not built it in a 
while though.

I had problems running xmame under KDE.  It would aggrigate the shift key 
presses into a single batch so not all the keystrokes went through. 
Problem since a number of important keys were mapped to shift, alt and 
ctrl.  Worked fine under Gnome.  (This may have changed. It has been a 
while since I had time to play it.)
