I'd have to wonder why you'd want to do that. You might as well do Linux from scratch, or pick on of the other smaller distros which don't use a package manager. On the other hand, if you mean adding packages to a Fedora system, and those additional things not being RPM packages, then of course you can do that. Just the same as you can with any Linux distro. But it's up to you to figure out how to add anything additional that they depend on, that you don't already have. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
