You want to try FC3 src.rpm's first - they are more likely to get you a better-fit.
But sometimes its just not that simple, eg. Evolution. To get the latest / greatest - you are looking to, pretty much, rebuild the entire gnome platform and move to 2.10
So it seems. Had a shot at building FC4 evolution and it turned into way more packages than I really wanted to replace to get an updated evolution. Gave up after about 6 rounds of building/installing/building-new-deps/installing and reverted to CentOS4 and/or FC3 evolution RPMS and dependencies, as documented elsewhere in the thread.
( you could do the garnome way if you like... not much fun, if its a simple drop in install you want )
I realize I asked a kind of ridiculous question - but was curious if there were a good answer - seems not. Especially as FC3 goes EOL in a few months...
Well, a more stable (IMHO and experience) FC3-rebuilt set of evolution RPMS might be an intermediate answer until a better solution comes from upstream. Still think it might be a candidate for centosplus.

P.S. FC3 evolution rebuild is working well for me on x86_64 as well as i386 arch.
