This exact incantation works, or at least creates packages:
cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
wget ftp://ftp.openswan.org/openswan/openswan-2.6.22.tar.gz
tar zxf openswan-2.6.22.tar.gz
rpmbuild -ba openswan-2.6.22/packaging/fedora/openswan.spec

So you can build openswan from the tgz using the Fedora SPEC file but
not from the Fedora source RPM....
