Unless I misunderstand your question--there are already rpm repos for FC3, a lot of them. Have a look at http://fedorafaq.org, especially at their stuff on yum and apt, which are both very nice ways to handle package management for Fedora Core. In particular they have great sample config files, for example, http://fedorafaq.org/samples/yum.conf which take the tedium out of getting set up for painless rpm updates and installations. I don't use Red Carpet--I hear it's very nice, but if you haven't tried it yet, give yum a try.
