Robert,

I would say in most cases maybe.  But like Jerry suggests I'd compile
the SRPM and fix any dependency issues by hand as they surface.

You could also take the SRPM for your distribution, like I did for FC1,
and modify to work with the sources from samba.org ...  Most of the
patches work with little modification from the original if my memory is
correct.  The latest 2.0.21b version removes the Fedora directory under
packaging; but, I fixed by re-creating the directory and stuffing the
files to be copied in there.

Your mileage will vary.
