4.3 contains several updates, and is (for lack of a better analogy) a
quarterly service pack for centos 4. If you fear for production
systems, set up a local repo or test on development box. As to things
you've installed from source.. it depends on HOW you installed them,
and it's something that any update, regardless of minor version
changes can interfere with. For instance, today the sendmail update
came out and is not part of "THE 4.3" update. If you were already on
4.3 and had installed your own sendmail, it's entirely possible that
this update could wreck your day.
You should consider providing more detail about how you installed from
source, as well as why you didn't use or rebuild an rpm, or use the
exclude feature in yum to prevent your own custom packages from
potentially being overwritten.
