With a bit of luck, rpm --queryformat can help you. 

With:

$ rpm -q --queryformat "%{name} -- Distribution: %{distribution} Vendor: 
%{vendor}\n" <any packman package>

you can check what packman writes into the Distribution: and Vendor:
tags of their package, and if any of it is usable for your search. 

Then with a rather brute-force (for example)

$ rpm -q --queryformat "%{name}: %{distribution}\n" | grep <repository-name>

you can search all your packages.

This example assumes that packman writes repository info into
Distribution, which I actually don't know. The build service uses that
tag.

A list of all tags usable with --queryformat is available with:

$ rpm --queryformat

hope that helps,

Sonja
