I would suggest one of the following:

1.  Go to Red Hat Network and download the Red Hat RPMs from there:

http://www.redhat.com/software/rhn/

2.  Download the Red Hat source RPM and rebuild the binary RPMs using "rpm 
--rebuild".  The source RPM is available at:

http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/enterprise/3WS/en/os/SRPMS/samba-3.0.9-1.3E.10.src.rpm

3.  There is a third party that builds binary RPMs for RHEL.  They are not 
supported by Red Hat, but they are based on newer versions of Samba:
