No - note the "cern" and "slc" in the kernel version. Our kernel is not 
a straight rebuild of RHEL3, so the module should (rightfully) fail to 
load. Perhaps the module in the Fermi "contrib" area would work.

If not, is there a src.rpm available that I could

Sure:
http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/scientific/309/x86_64/contrib/SRPMS/xfs/kernel-module-xfs-2.4.21-37.EL.XFS-1.3.3-1.SL.src.rpm
(any other SL mirror should have that as well, just happen to have the 
URL at hand).
