Kind of.

Running with ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.6 in environment, or something of that
sort, would likely solve that issue.  If not then installing just enough
to boot into a single user mode and continue from there would be another
option.  Yet another is to get yum for Red Hat 7.3 (such beast exists)
up and running on your original installation.  I cannot be sure of all
details as I did not try that myself but usually there are various ways
to skin a proverbial cat.
