Pick a mirror and look at /pub/whitebox/3.0-RC1/en/upgrade.

Grab everything there and then read the README file therein.

That will upgrade you to RC2, then do the same from 
/pub/whitebox/3.0-RC2/en/upgrade

No.  Besides running into trademark issues you may have problems from 
other subtle differences.  Besides, there are NO legal methods of 
obtaining the binary errata form RHEL3 outside of an RHN subscription.  
For that reason alone I must recommend against any such attempt.

In theory you should be able to just install yum, put in the 3.0 
repository and go.  But a few packages have the same version number 
because they had minor build problems and I didn't bump the version or 
fork out a WB version number.
