How can I upgrade to the latest Apache (2.0.47), PHP (4.3.3), and MySQL
(4.0.15) using RPMs on either a RH8 or RH9 without having to replace
multitudes of dependencies?

Difficult question without knowing why you need to upgrade those packages? Redhat's packages are supposed to be stable, not the latest version. Are you worried about vulnerabilities in the older versions ? Redhat back ports most security fixes into their current version as updates / errata, so that's not really an issue. Are you needing some new feature in MySQL or php? Then you probably need to install from source or make a src.rpm for the package. Once you install something like that from source, you have to provide updates for it. You'll need to monitor the support lists for those packages and fix any security issues that arise.
