At this point they don't.  It's easy to add to any of the Samba RPMs though 
(either the RedHat ones or the ones from samba.org).

Make sure you have libacl installed.

Download the .src.rpm of Samba and 'rpm -i' it to install the source, patches 
and and .spec file into the RPM source tree.

Edit /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/samba.spec and add --with-acl-support to the Samba 
compile options.

Then issue 'rpm -bb samba.spec' to make a new set of binary packages with ACLs 
enabled.  You'll find them in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/<arch>.  That's it!
