/usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portlint. It does syntax checking on the Makefile
and checks things like correct checksums in distfile. You run it in the
port's directory.

I suspect that setting USE_LINUX_RPM= yes in Makefile should be all
you need, but I've never done a RPM port. Some seem to use only
LINUX_RPM_ARCH= i386, which is the only option at the moment since
we don't have a AMD64 Linux base port.

That could be a problem. Maybe a committer could host it for you. I'm
hosting flwm-1.00.tgz, although I don't think it's used anymore.

I just update Makefile, fetch the tarball and then run "make makesum"
before generating diffs or making a tarball of the port.

See the comment in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk. There are lots of very
informative comments in that file.
