It's not officially or unofficially supported. It's completely not
supported and not present. If you really need supported xfs in RHEL
you'll have to ask Red Hat for that, and I wish you luck. :)

Or http://sandeen.net/rhel4_xfs
that contains a module rpm so you can run xfs in the stock RHEL kernel.
you'll need userspace too, probably simplest to get a recent xfsprogs
src.rpm from FC6 and the rpmbuild --rebuild xfsprogs-<foo>.src.rpm
The above combination should work well for you.
