apt-get has been ported to handle *.rpm files (i.e. it uses rpm instead of 
dpkg)!

These should be usable too as they (should?) sit on top of the former...

Dunno for this one.

You can also have a look at Mandrake's urpm* tools (search for "urpmi"), or 
rpm-get which seems much simpler (easier port maybe?) than apt-get.

The best URL I could find on all this for now is :
