I would guess that you'd be able to run rpm under Hurd's Linux emulation
once it exists, but the only reason you'd want to use RPM is to install
Linux binaries, so there's not much point at the moment. Hurd already has a
packaging format; HURD RPMs would be a little silly. (Until RedHat produce
RedHat Hurd...)
However, many programs now come with .spec files which say how to produce
RPMs. Perhaps a spec-to-deb converter would be an interesting project?

I always wondered where PICT format images came from. :)
