I put this in my %post section and it worked around the problem:

...
rpm -U ftp://bugaboo.incyte.com/pub/db3-3.1.17-4.6x.i386.rpm
rpm -U ftp://bugaboo.incyte.com/pub/rpm-4.0.2-6x.i386.rpm
rpm -U ftp://bugaboo.incyte.com/pub/mount-2.10r-0.6.x.i386.rpm
rpm -U ftp://bugaboo.incyte.com/pub/nfs-utils-0.3.1-0.6.x.1.i386.rpm
rpm -U ftp://bugaboo.incyte.com/pub/kernel-smp-2.2.19-6.2.10.i686.rpm
...

It adds a second kernel to the machine, but that's hardly a concern.
Now I can place all the version 4 RPMs I want on there :-)

Thanks,

Will
