I may be mistaken but think that for the openpkg libraries link dynamically against the system libraries (mainly [g]libc). When using openpkg libraries the openpkg builds compile these libraries statically into the binaries thus avoiding the dependencies on the underlying OS.
That said I think that as the glibc versions of rh7.1 and rh9 are so different you may well have trouble building on rh9 and running on rh7.1 too. However building on rh7.1 _may_ provide a binary package which due to rh7.x backwards compatibility also runs on rh9. My guess is the best solutions is to build twice even if that is not "ideal". At least the use of and the versions of the openpkg software will be identical between RH versions.
