Mmm, possibly. A lot of distributions are ahead of the patch game compared to the stock kernels. I never patched my Mandrake kernel so it could be the case with RH too. The best way to tell for RH is to look at the kernel RPM .spec file and see what patches are applied. The nice thing about RPM's is they start from the baseline code (e.g. Marcello's tar-ball) and apply patches to it when they build. This way its easy to see what has been applied beyond the stock builds.
