Well, presuming you installed them via yum/apt(any other package 
manager), you should be able to upgrade them to their FC3 variants, if 
you compiled from source, may require recompile.

I am not familar with programs you speak of in particular, however I 
have dont many FC2 => FC3 upgrades without problems*

*Apache acts up after upgrade, and must be updated with a couple of 
other things, bar that, all well - just means after upgrade do a 'yum 
update'.
