That is probably relative safe to do (provided you make sure you keep a 
Fedora 12 kernel installed to go back to just in case) because kernels 
have few dependencies. Possible difficulties include too-old kernel 
install tools like dracut, and incompatible selinux or X versions.

If all you want is 2.6.32 then you can get that from the updates-testing 
repository of Fedora 12 anyway. (The plan seems to be for F12 to go to 
2.6.32 eventually, though presumably there have been technical and/or QA 
issues stopping in happening so far).
