Absolutely, although I would argue that Fedora isn't really tested on S/390, and the Gentoo folks seem to have vaporized since announcing their mainframe version. But, that still leaves Debian, Tao, and Slack/390. All of which are much more current than SLES7.

Fedora and Tao ought to be reasonably close to a modern RedHat, even.
