What you need for that is a rpm spec file. Grab a kernel.src.rpm from a distribution. Install it, and cd to /us/src/redhat (other distros may have a different name in /usr./src). Now the sources, and patches should be in SOURCE, and the spec file in SPEC. Now you can modify/add the source/patches, and the spec. To create rpms you run "rpm -bb <spec file>". Of course to get the i686 rpms you want you need to add "--target i686".
Keep in mind this involves a lot of rpm spec file black magic. Also most of time you will end up with at least 3 kernel rpms via this method. You really don't want to do this unless you need to roll your own custom releases of a distro for some reason.
