Others can comment better (I am still a yum novice) but I think you can break the problem into two parts. 1)Building and maintaining the yum repository, and 2)Providing the repository to your network Could you not build (yum-arch) the repository from a RH/FC station and target a NFS share on the Debian Server. After that the standard Debian services (ftp/http/nfs) could be used to provide the repository to your network. This should not require any updates to your Woody.
