You can't without breaking everything. But you can install an 
alternative version alongside and make sure that only the programs that 
need it are using it (that means you _can't_ just install to /usr/local).

RH sometimes does this too. E.g. there are official packages for 
evolution 2.8 in the base repo:

evolution28-2.8.0-61.el4.x86_64
evolution28-atk-1.12.2-4.el4.x86_64
evolution28-atk-devel-1.12.2-4.el4.x86_64
evolution28-cairo-1.2.4-6.el4.x86_64
evolution28-cairo-devel-1.2.4-6.el4.x86_64
evolution28-devel-2.8.0-61.el4.x86_64
evolution28-evolution-connector-2.8.0-16.el4.x86_64
evolution28-evolution-data-server-1.8.0-37.el4_7.2.x86_64
evolution28-evolution-data-server-devel-1.8.0-37.el4_7.2.x86_64
evolution28-glib2-2.12.3-6.el4.x86_64
evolution28-glib2-devel-2.12.3-6.el4.x86_64
evolution28-gtk2-2.10.4-25.el4.x86_64
evolution28-gtk2-devel-2.10.4-25.el4.x86_64
evolution28-gtkhtml3-3.12.0-11.el4.x86_64
evolution28-gtkhtml3-devel-3.12.0-11.el4.x86_64
evolution28-libsoup-2.2.98-5.el4.1.x86_64
evolution28-libsoup-devel-2.2.98-5.el4.1.x86_64
evolution28-pango-1.14.9-13.el4_8.x86_64
evolution28-pango-devel-1.14.9-13.el4_8.x86_64

As you can see, devel packages are even included. Your best bet is to 
install all the above (includes gtk 2.10) and then compile your stuff 
with something like

env 
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/evolution28/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/lib64/pkgconfig 
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/evolution28/lib64" ./configure

Hope this helps,
