If you're lucky, the packages you need are available in the Ubuntu 
archives, most likely in the "universe" repository.

Like any Linux, you can compile packages from source in Ubuntu; in that 
case see the "Dream installation from a released tar-ball" and "Dream 
installation from CVS code" instructions.

If all else fails, you might be able to use "alien" to install rpms.  But 
it looks to me like you really should compile instead.
