You can add additional files as well. This is seldom needed. Usually you 
have source tarballs (or zip, or ...) and patches only.

Have a look at a FAQ how to build RPM's. There was a link in this group 
today or yesterday where to look. Also look at some packages at the build 
service:

Some easy ones from my files:
http://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=mp3gain&project=home%3Adstoecker
http://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=rnxcmp&project=home%3Adstoecker

Requiring Qt version 4 devel files would be a line like
BuildRequires: qt-devel >= 4.0

The Build-service has all the packages, which are available in the 
distributions it handles (SUSE 10.x and later, Fedore 5 and later, 
Mandriva 2006 and later and the .deb systems Ubuntu and Debian working a 
little bit different).
