I have heard (i.e. on various forums) that this is possible. The theory is that RHEL4 should get along with CentOS 4 repos, etc... I can't say I vouch for it, and I can't say anyone I trust has explicitly said this.
On my RHEL servers I only use RHN repositories. For any software that I can't get through the RHN, I carefully build/install from source (to /usr/local). I don't like doing even that.
As for the support complications scottro spoke to: since this will almost certainly void your support contract, maybe consider just changing the box to CentOS instead if needed.
