There isn't an issue tracker on https://github.com/repoforge/repoforge.github.com, so?

Use rpm -ivh package-filename to install the rpmforge-release package (also works with URLs)
# rpm -ivh http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.i386.rpm

Alternatively, I suppose, the page could stop making the claim that the URLs work directly with rpm. I think that's less helpful, though.
