As far as I know, urpmi is only available on one major distribution -- Mandriva. However, there are very few distributions which don't use apt/synaptic. So, it's more of a "standard." Not saying that they can share binaries, but if you learn it on one distribution, you can usually use it on another.
BTW, PCLinuxOS is an RPM-based distribution. It just uses apt to resolve dependencies. Somewhat ironically, apt-for-rpm was primarily developed by the Connectiva half of Mandriva.
