Thanks for the link those are great HowTos.  I double checked and have the packages installed.
I think the issue is that the kernel source rpm I downloaded (kernel-2.6.32.220.17.1.el6.src.rpm) from the SL 6.2 SRPM is missing some files.  Here is a snippet of the errors I get when running make mrproper and make.

make mrproper

Also no /usr/src/redhat directory exists after installing (kernel-2.6.32.220.17.1.el6.src.rpm) like I would see if this was a redhat packaged kernel source rpm.  Should I?

In addition to the "regular" development tools like gcc and make, you
will need some additional packages to build SL-6 kernels. For example,

hmaccalc
zlib-devel
binutils-devel
elfutils-libelf-devel

More details on how to build custom kernels, please see:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel

It should work for SL kernels.
