I got mapnik running on RHEL5 a year and a half ago and I feel your
pain... I wrote down most of the gnarly steps and dependencies (which
I'm not sure all still apply, versions might be different etc...) but
I hope this helps you get rolling.

    * Boost Libs (this is gnarly)
    * download version 1.35

      # wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/boost/boost_1_35_0.tar.bz2
      # tar xjvf boost_1_35_0.tar.bz2
      # cd boost_1_35_0
      # export BOOST=`pwd`
      # cd tools/jam/src
      # ./build.sh
      # cd bin.linuxx86/
      # export PATH=`pwd`:$PATH
      # cd $BOOST
      # bjam --toolset=gcc \
        --with-thread --with-filesystem --with-iostreams \
        --with-regex --with-program_options --with-python \
        --with-system stage
      # sudo bjam --toolset=gcc \
        --with-thread --with-filesystem --with-iostreams \
        --with-regex --with-program_options --with-python \
        --with-system install

    * Link boost libs for mapnik

      # ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboost_python-gcc41-mt.so
/usr/local/lib/libboost_python-mt.so
      # ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboost_thread-gcc41-mt.so
/usr/local/lib/libboost_thread-mt.so
      # ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboost_program_options-gcc41-mt.so
/usr/local/lib/libboost_program_options-mt.so
      # ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboost_iostreams-gcc41-mt.so
/usr/local/lib/libboost_iostreams-mt.so
      # ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboost_filesystem-gcc41-mt.so
/usr/local/lib/libboost_filesystem-mt.so
      # ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboost_filesystem-gcc41-mt.so
/usr/local/lib/libboost_filesystem-mt.so
      # ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboost_regex-gcc41-mt.so
/usr/local/lib/libboost_regex-mt.so

    * Lib ICU

      http://download.icu-project.org/files/icu4c/4.0/icu4c-4_0-src.tgz

    * Freetype

       # wget 
http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/freetype/freetype-2.3.7.tar.bz2

    * Libtool

      ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.2.tar.gz

    * TIFF

      wget http://dl.maptools.org/dl/libtiff/tiff-3.8.2.zip

    * PNG

      wget 
http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/libpng/libpng-1.2.31.tar.gz

    * Mapnik

      # svn co svn://svn.mapnik.org/trunk mapnik
      #  python scons/scons.py BOOST_LIBS=/usr/local/lib
BOOST_INCLUDES=/usr/local/include/boost-1_35
      #  python scons/scons.py BOOST_LIBS=/usr/local/lib
BOOST_INCLUDES=/usr/local/include/boost-1_35 install
