Just as with the original fedora 2 kernel there is a RPM that contains the
kernel image itself (vmlinuz) and a RPM for the kernel source that was
used to generate the kernel image.
If you just want to run a MPLS enabled kernel you download
kernel-2.6.8-1.521mpls_1_938a.i686.rpm, if you want to look at the
source code that was used to generate the MPLS enabled kernel, you download
kernel-sourcecode-2.6.8-1.521mpls_1_938a.i686.rpm

In the forwarding plane:
I have a project called l2cc which enables the linux network stack to
cross connect layer 2 packet onto LSPs.
Currently it is a seperate project and I have not release a kernel that
contains both MPLS and L2CC. I will be doing that soon. (that kernel will
also contain my Linux VRF code as well).
In the signalling plane:
I have the infrastructure needed to implement the Martini extentions to
LDP, but I have not done the work yet. I would accept patches that worked
towards this. If you plan on working on this, let me know and I'll
give you some pointers on where to start.
