And then it (sort of) works, thanks. There are still some bumps in the way, 
though:

1. Need to give --rosdep-install option in order to (try to) resolve 
dependencies:
$ rosmake --rosdep-install orocos_toolchain_ros

2. Doesn't compile on Fedora 13 due to lack of available antlr-C++ package. 
Moved on to a Fedora 14 machine instead.

3. Had to install xerces-devel manually as --rosdep-install wouldn't do it.

4. Missing dependency on omniorb, which of course is not supplied in the usual 
fedora repositories. Dug out installable rpm:s from 
http://www.openrtm.org/pub/Linux/Fedora/releases/14/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/omniORB-4.1.4-4/

5. Manually install rubygem-hoe. Unfortunately it dosen't help:
[rosmake-2] Starting >>> rtt_rospack [ make ]

    did you install Typelib's Ruby bindings and update the RUBYLIB environment 
variable accordingly ?
    did you add /opt/orocos_toolchain_ros/orogen/lib to RUBYLIB ?
