I would guess it is included in the source archive.

I think it is also possible to go directly from docbook to pdf, using
tools and scripts from docbook-utils and docbook-utils-pdf:

sauron.deepsoft.com% less -X `which docbook2pdf`
#! /bin/sh
jw -f docbook -b pdf "$@"
sauron.deepsoft.com% rpm -qf /usr/bin/jw `which docbook2pdf`
docbook-utils-0.6.14-4
docbook-utils-pdf-0.6.14-4
