While perhaps not as widely know as RPMForge, http://www.alcancelibre.org/al/el/5/SRPMS.al/ http://www.alcancelibre.org/al/el/5/RPMS.al/ seems to have gnumeric-1.6.3-1.9.el5.al.i386.rpm which implies they somehow got it to build.. In general I'd also look at CentOS repositories such as 'CentOSPlus' (http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/centosplus) or Karanbir Singh's http://centos.karan.org/ for such things. We are all one largely-compatible happy family after all... The question (to me) would rather how many system packages you are willing to replace in order to get a particular version of gnumeric, given that you would need to keep an eye for updates for these packages yourself for all eternity - one-time availability in a repo is no guarantee that these will be maintained.
