I believe

    Perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::Apache2'

should get you latest version of mod_perl 2.0 (2.0_RC3 as of this writing).

You should be able to get source RPM's (AKA SRPM) from the same source 
that you get your binary RPM's from.  These will include, along with the 
source tarball and any necessary patches, a file with .spec extension 
(this file will normally end up in /usr/src/redhat/SPECS if you install 
the SRPM using rpm), which tells rpm how to build the binary RPM.

For more information, take a look at http://www.rpm.org
