Close, it's the /etc/redhat-release file you need to monkey with.  The PSP installer is expecting to find a specific string in that 
file telling it what version of the distribution is in place.  I saved the old one and replace it with the single line:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 4)

After installing the PSP I put the old one back.

Amen!  Figuring out which packages to install by yourself can be a bit confusing!
