Actually found the answer - the RedHat application stack apparently has 5.2.3, but it is a lot of money considering we only want the newer PHP.

Personally I think we are going to reconsider using RHEL for our LAMP applications, as we are always requiring newer versions. I realise you are always chasing distros for the one with the latest packages, but putting PHP 5.1 in RHEL5 when 5.2 was already out and required by many apps was an interesting decision. We are looking seriously at the new LTS Ubuntu out at the end of April, which has 5.2.4, and will be supported for 5 years.

Having said this, RHEL5 is a solid platform for our infrastructure needs, such as on the MySQL backend, and for some of our apps which are certified on that platform, and I would always go with RedHat in this case.
