Dude, I went over the same thing. There is no easy way to update any of Red Hat's RPM packages with nre re-compile on your packages. The reason being is that most of the utilities and dependant on each other. If you install Openssl 9.6.0f and the version RH of openssh was compiled with 0.9.6c. It will not start.
Also when you install any of the OpenSSH, OpenSSL, PHP etc. They ALL default to /usr/local. not /usr/lib. Now, if you build a RPM for these, that might work. EXCEPT that you must hunt down were all of the include, libraries, binaries are!!! I myself gave up and this is what I did. I did RPM -e for OpenSSL, SSH, apache , PHP and any utilities that needed these libraries utilites. This also include mod_ssl, stunnel imap etc. Once I verified that they were gone. I install one by one OpenSSL, sfio (for Sendmail), zlib, OpenSSH, Sendmail, named, mod_php, Apache. They now work MUCH MUCH faster and I now know EXACTLY how they were built. I plan to install RH 7.3 soon. I will do the full install and then gut it from all of the things I want to compile and maintain myself: Sendmail, Samba, Named, SSH, SSL , Apache, PHP, Perl. Just to name the ones that come to my head. I will not install ftp, tftp, telnet, NFS, since I don't use them. Why keep them around...;) I will probaly build RPM packs for the above just for the sake of completeness and easier upgrades.
