Umm... I just checked that specific RPM, and that RPM *does* contain all that you need. In particular, the following *are* in there:
kernel-2.6.spec linux-2.6.11.tar.bz2 patch-2.6.12-rc5-neutered.bz2 <- probably why they won't patch a 2.6.11
The spec file lists all the *.patch files and the order to apply them in. It even has a whole bunch of *.config files.
Your best best is to 'rpm -ivh' that RPM - that will put the pieces in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES and /usr/src/redhat/SPECS. 'rpmbuild kernel.spec' (with appropriate flags, you probably want '--target x86_64' if you want a 64-bit build only). Adding patches is a matter of dropping the patch in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES and adding a few lines to the kernel-2.6.spec file.
