What do want to do:
- use the apt tool as a rpm packet management utility
- create your own rpm repository from where others might download and 
install?

In the latter case you need apt4rpm, as far as I know.

For the  first mentioned purpose use I (and like very much) the apt 
package from http://freshrpms.net, partly as a replacement for the 
up2date tool to keep my Redhat 9 system uptodate.
apt-rpm, as I understand it, is similar to this, but I have never used it.
