That's exactly what I thought. I think another tool would be required.

Does createrepo need binary RPMS? Or can it get meta from SRPMS?
It needs the RPM's that you want to create the repo from :). If you want to create a repo of SRPM's, feed it a bunch of SRPM's. If you want a binary repo, feed it a bunch of binary RPM's.
createrepo is not a magical mind-reader, it can't infer what dependencies might be in a binary RPM once it's built. Remember that RPM itself puts all sorts of non-declared dependencies in a binary RPM that gets built (needed DSO's, provided DSO's, Perl deps, etc).
