Hello, Kevin
I run Red Hat 9 as well, and I asked the same question a week or two
ago.  After I read your request for help, I tried, and succeeded at
accomplishing exactly what you asked.  So here are the instructions:
1. Run "rpm -e" on kdemultimedia, kdeaddons, and kdeaddons-devel  (If
you don't remove the kdeaddons packages, rpm will complain about
dependencies when you try to uninstall kdemultimedia.)  I must add a
warning here:  if kdeaddons is real important to you, you might want to
research this a little further, as I haven't been able to reinstall any
version of kdeaddons yet.  If I succeed at reinstalling it, I will let
you know.)
2. Download kdemultimedia from the following location (or a mirror of
your choice.) - 
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.1.1/src
3. Then do the following as a regular user:
     bunzip2 kdemultimedia-3.1.1.tar.bz2
     tar xvf kdemultimedia-3.1.1.tar
     cd kdemultimedia-3.1.1
     ./configure --prefix=/usr
     make
4. su into root and do the following:
     make install

That's it :)  I not only immediately got the mp3 plugin working in
Krename, but I got the audio cd browser working as well (looks cool, but
I do all my CD related work from the command line)

I hope this helps :)  If I messed up on the directions, and I can be of
any assistance to you, feel free to contact me and I'll be glad to try
to help you.
Just a warning: I'm good at what I know, and I've learned a lot in my
years of using Red Hat (since 7 came out), but by no stretch of the
imagination am I a Guru :)

Have a Great Day :)

P.S.: I also got Kpackage working in Red Hat 9 with a similar, but not
so pretty, method :)
