Absolutely!  I always grab source directly from http://www.kernel.org and
use the config files from the RH kernels as a staring point for my new
kernel (saves a lot of time finding all those quirky dependancies).  Then
compile a kernel with no patches just to make sure my configuration works.
Then apply the patches I want and then make any config changes needed by the
new patches and compile again.

P.S. Currently having a problem compiling a 2.4 SMP kernel for my file
server, but other than this system it's always worked for me.
