Hmmm. If you do not plan to manage the machines on RHN's WebUI and
only plan to do yum operations from that machine, you could register
the box against RHN, backup the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date and
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid, then change serverURL and register
against Spacewalk, and then have the machine in Spacewalk's WebUI for
management or other purposes, and whenever you'd want to do a direct
yum operation against RHN, you'd flip a symlink to correct up2date
and systemid file, do the yum upgrade, and change it back.

Or some similar setup which would however not give you access to both
at the same time.
