This reminds, I should make a updated RPM for FC3.
But for now just add the --oldpackage tag to the end of you command and
it will install.

    rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.9-1.6_FC2mpls_1_946a.i686.rpm --oldpackage

BTW this is not a 'mpls-linux'-ism this is a general RPM installation
issue and could have been solved by looking at the 'rpm' man page.
