I did this recently (RH9->FC3). It almost worked. I can say a few things that
will help you. First, make sure your machine boots to init 3 first. When you do
the upgrade, tell it to let you pick the packages. Make sure policycoreutils and
targeted policy are selected. On a normal upgrade they weren't picked up by
dependencies. Look around for the other SE Linux tools and make sure they are
selected. Also make sure yum is selected.

The first time it boots, it should try to relabel the filesystem. If not, you'll
need to boot to single user mode and touch /.autorelabel.

Then there's gnome...It didn't pick up everything that it needed. I had to
manually install several packages and configure the panels by hand. I still don't
have the same icons for web browser that a clean install does. Maybe upgrading to
FC4 will resync the missing pieces for me.

In short it was an adventure. But you can get it almost working.
