Would

rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/`uname -p`/openafs-kernel-1.4.1-`uname
-r`-`uname -p`.rpm

work in most cases?

Works on RHEL4 systems as well. The resulting openafs-kernel rpm will be
located in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i686 (assuming you built on a i686).

Then to install:

rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i686/openafs-kernel-smp-1.4.0-'uname
-r'_1.i686.rpm
