I have managed to install Mandrake and Suse RPMs on RH (and WBL)
systems. It mostly is a matter of how much random extra cruft the RPM
depends on and/or does in the spec file. And no, these are not just
noarch RPMs either.
It is possible to create 'universal' RPMs, RPMs that are *NOT* distribution
specific.
Grab the srpm for bison++-1.21.8-1mdk and have a look at its spec file
for example. It happily installed on several *different* RH systems
(RH 6.2 and RH 7.3) and also on WBL 3.0 (aka RHEL 3.0) systems.
Actually on my *RH 7.3* system I have installed:
sauron.deepsoft.com% rpm -qa | grep mdk
cgicc-3.2.1-2mdk
unzip-5.52-1mdk
zip-2.31-1mdk
bison++-1.21.8-1mdk
Although I might have rebuilt zip and unzip from src rpms. I *know* I
didn't need to rebuild bison++ and I don't think I needed to rebuild
cgicc (I don't have the .src.rpm on my system).
