I think you might find similar package lists for most of the linux distributions. For example, the project I work on for my current job uses TurboGears as the web framework. We support RHEL (and variants). The official RHEL install DVD's don't carry the TurboGears packages. The EPEL repositories do, but this would still count as 'installing from another site'. I just took a look at a CenOS 5.2 install DVD I had lying around and none of the packages you listed are part of the install DVD. While there is a greater chance of finding binary RPM's for a x86 distro of the packages you like, you should still be able to get the source RPM's to build and install, it will just take a little more time.
