Packages built for Fedora Core 1 _MIGHT_ work on RHL9, but it's not
likely. It wouldn't be surprising if one could easily rebuild FC1
SRPMs on RHL9, though.
Most of the pre-packaged repositories are moving away from RHL to
concentrate on FC1 & 2. It looks like at least fedora.us, NewRPMS,
and Dag are still building some packages for older releases. Try
these for starters:
http://www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraChannels
http://newrpms.sunsite.dk/index.php?section=4
http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/FAQ.php#B
Each page has instructions for adding their repositories to apt,
yum, etc.

I haven't seen one for RHL9, but I haven't really looked. Again,
a SRPM intended for FC1 might build (relatively) easily on older
releases.
