Yes, rebuilding from .fc6.src.rpm is the best way.  In many cases, just running:

rpmbuild --rebuild --recompile --define 'dist .sl5' --target `uname
-m` <sourcefile>

may work.  In the case of gnumeric, I needed to get several packages
from fc6 because of dependencies.  One of them was indeed goffice.
