The LSB states that the distribution must support RPMs, but it doesn't say
how. You don't have to have an rpm-based distribution, you can very well have
a conversion that creates ebuilds from an RPM.

The only problem you would have are dependencies, and the LSB clearly defines
what dependencies are allowed in LSB-RPMs.
