rh9 to fc1 was mostly painless, rh9 to fc2 broke a few things for me, fc1 
to fc3 worked well for most of the machines we had in that situation. 
Mostly problems I had related to customization I had done, and 3rd party 
binary software. If your environment is pretty vanilla, once you backed 
up, I'd probably just consider rebooting on the first fc install disk and 
doing an upgrade, be prepared for a bit of a learning curve if you go from 
9 to fc3,
