Yum repositories are accessed via a standard HTTP interface, which is easily browsable. Instead of downloading tarballs, I recommend you download the needed RPMs manually, and install those. Although it's more cumbersome than using yum, there are enormous advantages to installing software from packages (only) on systems that support a standard packaging mechanism. Not least of these is that you can be reasonably sure that you have installed all the dependencies for each package. For RHEL 5, look at http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/repoview/ for a somewhat human-friendly view of the EPEL repository, or at http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/ for a plain index of that repository's contents (which include Puppet). Change "i386" in those URLs to "x86_64" for 64-bit RHEL. Also, you should not need to go to a third-party repository for Ruby. There should be a suitable version on your RHEL install media.
