You should be able to rebuild the SRPM, but it depends on various factors.
You would really be on your own if you did it.  You would want to stay
with RHEL 3.x and clones, as RHEL 4.x and clones use the 2.6 kernel.

Many of the same features are in the RHL 9 kernel.

A lot of those are in RHL 9, some are not.  Which ones are you interested in?
