It's always possible, just sometimes not advisable. :-) I've generally found that things only really go wrong with older RPMs built against much older libraries/kernel than are in your current version. Of course it depends on the application and how deep it reaches into the system. I run several applications on my 10.2 machine installed from RPMs built for/on 10.0 or 10.1 with no issues or problems at all. They are not system level apps.. just handy apps I like to use from time to time. As an alternative, you could rebuild the apps yourself on your 10.3 machine (assuming sources are available) and use 'checkinstall' to generate an RPM (instead of 'make install').
