Anything is possible. It is just a matter of how much pain you are willing to
endure. Keep in mind that RHL 9 is no longer supported by Red Hat. Only
fedora-legacy is supporting it and even they will not do a 2.6 kernel for it.

You should really consider upgrading to a newer distro such as Fedora Core 2
or when available in a few weeks Fedora Core 3. They both are built to run the
2.6 series of kernels.
See http://fedora.redhat.com/ for more information.
