gtkmm is not officially part of RHEL, but the EPEL project provides 
gtkmm packages for RHEL-4, but not yet RHEL-5. See

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL

For gtkmm, you should have no problem recompiling the source RPMs from 
Fedora 6 or 7. I recommend using the gtkmm (and al.) versions that match 
the gtk2 (and al.) versions currently shipped with RHEL-5 :
