In order to compile/install a 2.6 kernel you need a newer GCC. I don't know about the Glibc version though.
Just install a newer version of RedHat if you want 2.6, it'd probably be a lot easier. =)
Also, 2.6 doesn't do anything great for hlds. It's not going to be the fix you're looking for, and running a still developmental kernel is a bad idea on a production server.
Yes, I know 2.6 is technically release, but let's just be honest, Linux has a history of the first 10 or so releases of a new kernel being either unstable, or just more trouble than it's worth.

In my experiences, 2.6 uses slightly more cpu when running a single server, but lag is less. This is especially noticable when running multiple game servers. As far as 2.6 being buggy, I don't know. I haven't heard of any major issues. For general game serving, I think any of the bugs that may crop up wouldn't really make a difference as they are usually things that are tested less and probably won't affect your average game server system. If you are using new hardware or have a business to run, I would stick with 2.4 or do alot of testing before taking the plunge just to be sure.
