Also, there's a reference on the DSpace Wiki which goes step by step through installing mod_jk on RedHat:
http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/ModJk I originally wrote that page based on how I installed mod_jk on RedHat EL 3.2 here at UIUC. At the time, I don't think there was a mod_jk RPM available for RedHat. But, the wiki page goes through everything you need to do to compile mod_jk from source. If you have problems, let me know. If you find something wrong with the instructions on the Wiki, feel free to update them (or let me know, and I'll update them).
