The easiest way would probably be:

- Take the src-rpm of the pango version in RHEL 5.
- Extract the patch from it: pango-glyphstring.patch-1.14.9-5.el5_3
- Extract the src-rpm of pango-1.22.3 from Fedora 10.
- Apply the RHEL 5 patch with --ignore-whitespace.
- Diff for creating a patch that applies without --ignore-whitespace.
- Bump version number and repackge a src-rpm for Fedora 10 with the new
patch.
- Build it on a clean Fedora 10 system.

There is one more problem to solve:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-emulation/2010-December/008264.html

That mail go unanswered (at least as far as the mailing list archive
goes). Probably, the procedure above would have to be put into a shell
script for a willing commiter to repeat. Every time this vulnerability
comes up at ports@ or emulation@, some commitor ask for a (trusted) rpm
to fix it. Thus, there might be one.

Peter Littmann's RPMs probably won't work for me since i'm looking for
9-current amd64.

would a src-rpm verifiably generated from the Fedora 10 src-rpm (or
the pango project tarball) and the RHEL 5 patch solve this? I may not
have a "Reputation", but I've been around since 4.1BSD and a search
of the tree and the PRs will turn up a few bugfixes that I've submitted.
