Mod_perl 1.99 is actually mod_perl 2, so you should use: --with-modperl2 
instead. I just installed RT 3.0.6 (plus custom hacks ported from 3.0.4) 
on an FC1 system using stock httpd and mod_perl. I used CPAN to install 
all of the perl modules. Only had a little bit of trouble with 
Apache::Request--I had to download a development release from the 
package's web site:

http://apache.mirrors.pair.com/httpd/libapreq/libapreq2-2.01_03-dev.tar.gz

I know that installing all of the modules by hand sucks--maybe this new 
project will help:

   http://rpmpan.sourceforge.net/

It looks like you could probably get most of the deps there.

Good luck!
