I don't think there are any redhat-specific hacks in the kernel - we just use the RPMs as-is, so any other linux distribution should also just work (modulo differences in emulated kernel interfaces corresponding to different linux kernel versions). The big problem is that you wouldn't be able to have more than one distribution active at a time, and you'd have to check whether all of the linux binary ports work with the new distribution.
