In most cases they will, but they may also fail in some way. It all depends on what the program is, which libraries they use, and which version of libraries they are compiled against.

If you can't find a RPM made for your distro/version, download source code (*.tar.gz) and compile the program yourself.

You may also download src RPMs (filename.src.rpm) and build your own rpm from that. Check www.rpm.org for more info.
