Er...if I weren't able to do this, I would go insane. Of course you can do this! As long as you install *their* rpm's, you're fine. RedHat does support kickstart, although I've not had to ask them any specific questions yet. The redhat-kickstart mailing list is great for that. > Tailored Kernel: I'd like to do a "Make Xconfig" to not install things > like RLL drivers, etc. This may be trickier, at least for RedHat support, which is all I can speak to. They provide you with base kernels for every platform, and they also provide something called "kernel-unsupported", which you're forced to use if the base kernels don't provide some feature you're looking for. Essentially, any software they don't package will be difficult for them to support, so check with them first.
