At the time that the 9.0 contrib was created both it a the cooker
contrib were the same.
Since that time new pkgs/versions/releases have been added to cooker
contribs just as pkgs/versions/releases are added to main cooker working
towards the next Mandrake release.
These new cooker contrib pkgs will not appear in 9.0 contrib.

No.
I would advise against it.
All new cooker contrib pkgs are built on and for systems running current
cooker.
If there is a special pkg you want/need try dling the src.rpm and
building it on your system.
