I also have src.rpm's here:
http://www.clfsrpm.net/php/
I use to maintain binary repo but that's a lot of work I no longer have
time for.
If I'm not mistaken, the Oracle src.rpm's are based on Fedora.
So are mine, except mine also has the suhosin core patch.

Mine currently has 5.2.9 but I probably won't update it, other than
maybe to add security patches as vulnerabilities are found.
I'm only running 5.2.9 myself because I wanted to report a bug and the
php devel team wants you to try the latest version first. Since 5.2.9
didn't break anything of mine, I kept it. (oh - and my bug wasn't a bug,
it was my mis-understanding of the still poorly documented DOMDocument
class related to namespaces)
centos also has some php 5.2.x I believe in their testing repo.
