I have CentOS and use rpmforge. ( https://rpmrepo.org/RPMforge/Finding ) Rpmforge has packages compiled for RHEL & clones but also has an OS-independant source RPM which should have a functional spec file. ( http://packages.sw.be/nagios/nagios-3.0.6-1.rf.src.rpm ) Just be aware that if you install the either repository into yum, its highly suggested you install yum-priorities first, and then give EPEL and/or rpmforge a lower priority than anything in the base repositories.
