Does anyone have some tips for setting up Broadcom's 802.3AD support or just getting their driver compiled / installed?

First off, I noticed redhat claims the broadcom bcm5708 driver has been added to the rhel4 kernel. But I don't see /proc/net/nicinfo which broadcom claims the driver creates when it's successfully initialized.

The bcm5708 driver is there - as your dmesg output states.

May be '/proc/net/nicinfo' is something the native driver from Broadcom creates/uses- and RedHat chose not to port that part?

I know nothing about Broadcom's 802.3AD support - but why not just use the 802.3AD bonding driver that the kernel provides? - see:
