Yes

No you can use the 'regular' rpm. It's just that over time I've
graviated to 'rpm --rebuild <src.rpm>'. These Mandrake /contribs are
apps that other people uploaded and there's no tellin what they built 'em
on. Some are even uploaded by contributers runnin incompatible
libs/gcc/hardware/etc. There's rarely been a problem, but I always
rebuild 'em anyhow if a .src.rpm is available. Same is true for cooker
rpms, those for another distro, 'generics' from an apps website, and so
on. Plus, when I rebuild 'em, I get a custom i686.rpm just for my
hardware. At least I like to believe so ;>
