AFAIK there is no correlation between Fed 4 and RHEL4 at all. Just 
look at the kernels they use.
Fed 4 uses 2.6.11 and RHEL4 uses 2.6.9. And Fedora 4 uses v4.0 gcc 
and RHEL4 uses v3.22.
RHEL releases started way before Fedora.

If you get source versions of the software then give it a go.

Distros like CentOS might be worth looking at if you want a clone of 
RHEL4 with continued updates
of drivers etc...
