Depends on what you want to do. If you just want to run rpmbuild to compile the stock kernels for your processor or some such, you can get the src.rpm. However, if you need the links to /usr/src/redhat, etc, for things like the OSS sound drivers, etc, you're better off downloading and installing kernel-source-your.version.i386.rpm (for example, if you're running the last recent kernel, you'll need kernel-source-2.4.20-18.9.i386.rpm).
