I would not recommend that. RedHat has specific rpms for 7.1 For security issues they will probably back port patches to apache 1.3.27 or in extreme cases generate rpm for a newer version. The OP has not mentioned the distribution for which the rpm's were downloaded but if they are for 7.1 it is best if up2date is used and all the dependancies are resolved. If that is not a acceptable option I would rather remove all apache* and mod_* rpm's before building from source.
The OP is definitely more at ease using packages than compiling from source. Atleast with using packages, he will no only need to upgrade from RPMs at apache site from time to time, and not recompile everytime a new version is out.

P.S. In the times of apt-get you still want to use up2date? ;) Ofcourse yes, apt-repositories for 7.1 does not exist i think. That is one good reason
